Try a Mr. Clean magic eraser supposedly works on permanent marker. If not rubbing compound. Good luck!

P.S. you should find these a**holes and beat the brakes off 'em

That sucks, At this rate the whole car will be repainted before you know it. Try running alcohol or goo gone. I would try just soap and water first to see how that affects it

Alcohol. Solvent. Gasoline. None of them got it completely off there's still a shadow of it. Going to a detail shop for clay bar and buff out.

Man that really sucks, so I guess it's the garage for your car in the future. If all that didn't work you could use polishing compound (not rubbing compound) with a buffer until that bit of tainted paint is gone, then use some wax to shine it and protect it. Hopefully it won't be too expensive to fix though good luck, oh and **** those guys!!

Go into a Car Wash that has Detailed Services and get a Wax... It should Remove it + Make your Paint look Brand New!}

The Way they did it make them look like some Kiddos, No cholo in his right mind would do that.. Vandalize = Break All your Windows....

WD-40 is safe to use on paint. But a clay bar will get it out, and safely.

Wow, what did you need to do, take off a layer of clear coat? What grit sandpaper did you use? And did you need to redo the clear coat again?

The drivers door damage was there when I bought it. I'm guessing he fling the door open into something. It's on my to do list. I don't think he took much clear off and not sure as to what grit was used. Went to a good detail shop he charged me 40 bucks.
