Careful with the IPA, it's really flammable. make sure everything is cold. It evaporates quickly though so wating a minute after you use it should do you fine

QuoteYou also may want to try one of those Mr. Clean "Magic Eraser" pads.....I am constantly amazed at what these things can clean and remove, most recently headlight lens fog-over and gunk....  waytogo

I would try this also before trying any harsh chemicals. these things clean so well. I am always amazed at what is removed even after using chemicals.

give a try first
I'll update this later at a convenient time Thank you for tuning in.....

Dry erase markers do a good job of removing permanent marker. Just color over the original with the dry erase then wipe it off. This will usually screw up the dry erase marker, in case you were hoping to use it for its original purpose.

Alcohol will dissolve Sharpie quite easily and won't shine your dull cans or dull your shiny ones as abrasive products might do, in case you don't have any dry erase markers around.

I park my bike in my backyard, but i guess the neighbors kid thought it would be fun to draw on the lower part of my exhaust with black magic marker. Its on the tube before the main exhaust part. any tips of getting this stuff off? ugh.
