Default what is the best way to remove permanent marker

On lexan. I could not finish my body last night and left the permenant marker (sharpie) on there over night. It comes off if i put elbow grease on it, but thought you guys might know a simpler way. Anyone?

Default sharpie

I found out the hard way that not all permanent markers are removable with even nitro fuel or alcohol

I did the same thing when I was laying out multible bodies at one time in the same paint scheme, that it would not come off of the protective body covering.
When I am completed, I just use an old bottle of nitro fuel and it comes right off with a soft cloth and the nitro fuel
Wish I could remember the brand name, but there is one marker that will not come with nitro fuel, alcohol, or anything I tried.
Now I stick to the Sharpie majic markers<fine tip> and remove it soon as I can

I use fuel to take Sharpie off of everything.

lighter fluid does the job too.I think nitro fuel would leave oil residue behind so if you were going to put any stickers on they wouldnt stick very well.
