Well since this question is about cleaning products, so i placed it here in the DP discussion.



Well any way, I took apart my cluster guages in my 98 camry to change some of the bulbs that were burnt ou in the back. My little brother was there and while I went to get something from the house, he drew on the white #'s on the guages with a dry-erase marker. :grrr It looks like crap now and I need something to clean it off. I've tried the targetâ„¢ Vroom orange APC with a glass MF on it but it didn't come off. I tried bleach, but didn't work. I've even tried a little bit of Castrol super clean undiluted :shocked but it still didn't come off.



I'm losing hope now. My only hope is that maybe Mr. clean magic eraser can do it since even CSC couldn't.. It's just dry erase marker, I don't know why its not coming off :nixweiss



Please help me, my guages look like crap now. All ideas are most appreciated :)
 
Hmm, if its over the white, you're in a tough spot. Something like Meguiar's PlastX might take off the white letters too, but it will definetly take off the marker. Wetsanding and polishing out the marks will take everything off, if you don't mind blank-faced gauges. Might be a "different" look, if nothing else works.
 
Before you resort to replacing the gauges, try this. We use it when someone uses a non-dry erase marker on a dry erase board. :wall

Take the dry erase marker and carefully go over the old marks and IMMEDIATELY wipe them with a clean cloth. The solvents in the marker help dissolve the previous marks and then you can wipe it off.

I'm not sure it will work, but it may be worth a try. :nixweiss
 
They make "white board" cleaner for cleaning off Drywrite pen marks. Get some at your office supply outlet (Office Max or whatever)
