Plastic is a modern material from which many household items and more are made.
In almost all areas of life you can find plastic elements or objects in general: furniture, medicine, astronautics, automotive industry, children's toys and much more. But, unfortunately, plastic can easily be made unsuitable, for example, using a marker. Most often, plastic objects attract children. They love to leave their art on everything that surrounds them. And if they come across a plastic surface, especially a white one, then it becomes an ideal place for realizing a creative idea. Adults also like to leave marks on plastic due to their profession.
Typically, inscriptions on plastic items indicate the batch quantity, date of manufacture, inventory number, etc. However, no one is immune from mistakes. There are situations when you need to immediately get rid of the marker on a plastic surface. And then the question “How to remove permanent marker from plastic?” gains its relevance.
There are plenty of ways to remove a marker from plastic.
Before you begin removing the marker from the plastic, make sure you have everything you need.
Tools for removing markers from different surfaces
It is quite difficult to wash a marker or felt-tip pen with plain water.
At first it seems that nothing can remove this caustic dye. But there are products that can clean your favorite sofa or expensive table, giving things a second life. So, baking soda and toothpaste will help remove traces of marker from hard surfaces, and acetone is suitable for cleaning clothes made of thick fabrics.

What's the result?
The key to the effect is proper preparation and accuracy of work. And the main conclusion: each product is good in its own way, so it’s worth buying them as a set, choosing a color. For small scratches it is better to use a wax pencil, for deep ones - a dissolving marker. It is better to deal with chips, especially large ones, with automotive enamels, and then it would be a good idea to polish the surface.
Small chips and scratches on the body of your favorite car are common. Unfortunately, such banal malfunctions cannot be avoided, because the car is constantly exposed to the aggressive influence of not only the environment, but also the “hard ride” of oncoming drivers - stones or hail the size of a penny can jump out from under the wheels. . In general, you won’t be bored!
Removing marker from hard, non-porous surfaces
In this case, it is easiest to remove traces of the marker, since the paint remains in the upper layers, which do not absorb it. They are less sensitive to the effects of alcohol, acetone and other substances; after treatment with these agents, no stains will remain. It is worth keeping in mind that sometimes a marker or felt-tip pen has caustic ink, and in order to wash it completely, you will need to repeat the cleaning several times:

Review No. 1: Good marker, draws well, does not wash off, did not match my color a bit, covered up the scratches, at least now they are not visible, the volume is not enough, I will order more.
Review #2: The trip to Moscow took about a month and a half. My boyfriend says he's never tested for anything, but the quality is good. When the paint runs out, you can add more. I recommend the seller and the product.
Review #3: Good marker. Paint spreads well. You can paint over all the imperfections of the mask. I'll order a few more for spares.

Cleaning fabrics and leather from marker
The main problem is that the color penetrates quickly and deeply into the tissue structure. It becomes more difficult to get him out. If your favorite jacket or T-shirt is damaged, you can try soaking the item in bleach. But this method is only suitable for light-colored fabrics that are not too sensitive to aggressive chemicals. For example, delicate satin cannot be cleaned this way. But you can try a mixture based on milk, vinegar and borax, which are taken in equal proportions and applied to the stain. After ten minutes, the product is washed off.
Clothing made from thick fabrics can be cleaned with acetone or alcohol. Dermantin or genuine leather - there is no difference. This method can be used for leatherette shoes, but not for suede. In the latter case, it is better to take the items to the dry cleaner.
It is important to remember to wipe the area with a damp cloth, removing traces of the product so that it does not continue to work, corroding the material. You need to be careful with the seams, as they absorb the color. The movements should not be rubbing, but as if collecting dirt.
Cotton items can be cleaned with lime or lemon juice. Alcohol is more suitable for carpet. But in this case, the stain does not need to be rubbed hard so as not to smear it on the fabric. To enhance the effect, you can apply hairspray on top.
Features of types of markers and their use
Markers and correctors are similar in use, but have different consumer properties. Some are better for micro scratches, others for surface scratches, and others are better for repairs.
Wax car pencils
Wax-based markers are the most common and inexpensive. Their task is to protect the body from corrosion in places where the paintwork is damaged. Attractive price, moisture resistance and ease of application have made wax sticks popular among domestic car owners.
Gel markers
Scratches on the varnish are difficult to disguise with paint. This is where polymer gel markers come to the rescue. Penetrates into cracks, penetrates the paintwork and hardens. Before applying the drug to the car body, shake the container, because the polymer gel has a thick consistency. After applying the drug to the damaged area, it is necessary to quickly remove its excess from the surface of the car body so that it does not harden on the paintwork. The polymer gel hardens when exposed to solar radiation. Therefore, in sunny weather, it is recommended to treat scratches on the car with gel chalk. When choosing a gel pencil, do not forget to choose the right pigment that will match your body color.
Repair or restoration
The deeper the scratch penetrates, the more paint on the car, the more difficult it is to find a suitable pencil. In the most severe cases it helps with enamel. To make it more convenient to work with, it is sold not in the usual marker format, but in the form of a bottle with a brush. The viscosity of the enamel helps fill the microcracks caused by microcracks. It is recommended to apply the product in layers until the damaged varnish layer is filled. To obtain a positive effect, the car body should be thoroughly dried, protected from scratches, and the repaired areas polished. Conventional sealants take longer to dry than other similar chemicals.
Volvo V40 Cross Country Little Wolf › Logbook › Letters: how to remove markers from paintwork?
Last weekend I met up with old friends, had a great time, went our separate ways, stopped at a gas station near the house while they were filling me up, warmed up inside the store, paid, went out...
The inscription spans the entire width of the hood using a marker. As it turned out later, my friends saw this inscription even before we went out to eat together, but they thought that this was what I had planned, and “there is some kind of message in this.” I even tried to find the meaning myself, “one dope drop your car”, “some junkie hit your car”? I looked at everything and even found a scratch on the bumper, which I didn’t know existed, but it was on the black plastic on the bottom right, 2 cm long. Yes, and you could report the “incident” by SMS - the phone under the windshield... Along the way, the only drug addict wrote this inscription.
So, this artist drew on the hood when the car was parked in a paid parking lot opposite the Russian Army Theater. Naturally, I paid for it) there are no cameras in the area, judging by Yandex.panoramas.
Cursing loudly to myself at the gas station, I got home, decided to scrub it off “before it dried out”, I only had wet wipes on hand for headlight glasses and other things, I decided that this was better than nothing. Indeed, the top layer of the marker has rubbed off.
But clearly not to zero. The next day, after a lot of googling, we tried: alcohol wipes, liquid cleaning products, special sprays for cleaning marker boards, alcohol, melamine sponge, it became a little less noticeable, but still clearly visible.
The most ardent advice is brake fluid. It supposedly scrubs everything off, the main thing is not to overdo it. I honestly tried it (dipped a cotton pad into the brake fluid container under the hood), rubbed it with the cotton pad, but after a minute I didn’t see any effect. I removed the remaining brake fluid with a cleaning agent and finished the experiments.
The worst thing is that at some stage (perhaps even at the very first, with wet wipes) I rubbed dust on the hood in the area of the inscription, scratches appeared on the paintwork (cobwebs).
Tell me, good people, how to overcome this crap? Most likely I'll go next for polishing, but what about the inscription?
And by the way, please also recommend a good detailing center so that my cats stop scratching their souls like a dusty rag on the varnish...

Removing Permanent Ink
Permanent ink is usually very durable, but you can remove marks from it too. The following tools are suitable for this:
- Erasable marker for plastic board. It contains a solvent that removes traces of permanent ink in a few minutes. You need to paint them over with a marker, wait a few seconds and then wipe the surface with a clean sponge or paper towel.
- Sunscreen can be applied in a thick layer to the mark and rubbed in with a cloth or cotton pad. After a few minutes, the stain will begin to fade. Do not leave the cream on the surface too long, as it can damage it. It is enough to wait 10–15 minutes for the pigment to come off.
- Permanent ink can be removed from light fabrics using bleach. It is mixed with water according to the instructions on the package (it is recommended to use 1 tbsp per 3.5 l). The clothes are soaked for 10–15 minutes and then washed. It is important not to overexpose the item in bleach.
- Acne patches work great on hard surfaces by sticking them to permanent ink marks and then quickly pulling them away. Some of the paint will remain on the patch. If necessary, repeat the procedure.
- The well-known acetone also copes well with fresh stains. But after using it, it is important to ventilate the room. Apply a small amount of product to a cotton swab and rub the stain with it until it disappears. Then you can rinse the treated area with water.
- If you don't have any of the above remedies on hand, you can try erasing the permanent ink with a rubber eraser. It is difficult to guarantee results; such a product will help cope with the problem only on a smooth surface.
- To clean satin fabric from permanent ink, you need to mix 1 tbsp. l. milk and vinegar with lemon juice and borax (1 tsp each). Then apply the product to the stain, leave for 10 minutes, and then rub with a damp sponge until the ink marks disappear.
- For regular fabric, use lime or lemon juice. You can dilute it with water to reduce the acid concentration (1:1). Then apply the juice to the stain and rub it into the stain using cotton wool or a cloth. If necessary, you can repeat the procedure, and then rinse your clothes with plain water.

Other surfaces
To wash car headlights or any metal surface, you need to take White Spirit - a special solvent that is used to dilute paints. They simply need to treat the stain; to do this, they will need to apply a small amount of the product to a rag and wipe all surfaces with it.
To clean car glass, you can use bleach, which will penetrate into the deep layers and remove the felt-tip pen within a few minutes. Apply a small amount of product to a sponge and wipe the stained area, then rinse thoroughly with water.
One of the biggest troubles is marker marks on a wall covered with wallpaper. Hydrogen peroxide or oxygen bleach (Persol, Sodasan, Synergetic) will help. Any of these products should be carefully applied to the area and after 10-15 minutes, remove the residue with a damp sponge. You cannot overexpose them, because the composition of the substances is quite aggressive and can destroy the paper or absorb paint from the main wallpaper pattern.
