Default Removing Sharpie?

Some nice citizen wrote on the back of my new truck sometime yesterday. Does anyone now of a way to remove it safely? Thanks

Any Automotovive prep solvent will work safely. Also mineral spirits, Goof-off, or any other naptha based solvent should take it off without hurting the paint. You'll need to wax the area after removal, because any of these will remove wax.

Vodka soaked micro fiber towel. Come on I know you got some. And you can have a drink when your done. If the wife or GF asks why you smell like booze....But honey I was cleaning the truck......
Denatured alcohol. Not rubbing alcohol.
Mr Clean Magic Eraser does the trick too. Just don't rub real hard.
Works at getting the stuff off after you de-badge too.

Then go out and get yourself some NRA stickers. Leave a couple of spent shells on your dash or hanging from the mirror.

I know when I mistake a sharpie with a dry erase marker at work, I just scribble over the sharpie with a dry erase, then wipe it off. I have tried it on the wall and it works too.....Just don't go crazy, in case the dry erase doesn't come off.

WD40 may also take it off. Works for bugs and tar.

Goo Gone or Goof Off would work.
