Graffiti Removal

[bigwood]

Whilst parked overnight a low life decided to draw a rude picture on the side of our motorhome. It appears to be permanent marker pen.
I have had a quick try with some washing up liquid to no avail. We are on our way home so couldn’t mess about for too long. There has been a recent post about fence paint overspray removal but I hope this is going to be a quick job.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

It may not be of use but at school when we mess up on the whiteboards with a permanent pen it often works if you go over the permanent with a whiteboard marker. Scribble right over the top.

You could try putting permanent marker over the graffiti and as its wet it wipes it all off.
I had some scrote do it to my work van and a girl in the office told me that trick. Worked a treat.

Chloroform perhaps, when I worked in laboratories we used it to clean all sorts of stuff off our glassware. Try it on a part somewhere out of the way first.

Use the chloroform on the miscreant! I was also going to suggest WD40. I don't know what they put in that stuff but....

Absolutely brilliant solvent, but, not available over counter now. Probably one of the many restricted chemicals that are unavailable in quantities less than 1 tonne (eg di chloromethane metylene chloride.)

Try acetone ie nail polish remover from a chemist

And then get the van resprayed!!!!

When racing dinghies and boats we used to write the rig settings and notes onto the gloss fibreglass deck with perm marker and then wipe them off with factor 30 sun cream. Which was concerning

Thanks folks. I couldn’t find the fence paint overspray post this morning. Typically I have found it now.
I need some more Fast Glass so I will try the Resin Polish as Halfords have an offer on at the moment.
If it was a Banksy I would leave it on there but it looks like a two year old could do a better job.

Try WD40 too

This is what we used to do when removing names and numbers from the whiteboards where I worked.

Toothpaste works wonders

Be careful with toothpaste it is very abrasive the whitining ones are like a course rubbing down compound.

wondered why my pearlies are slowly dissappearing

WD40 Is fantastic at removing marks along with the wax or protective coating. Only use it when you can clean and wax the area straight after. Or you will have an unsightly mark that will need polishing out later

Similar with alcohol, but that contains only the one solvent
