He parked his car up saturday night, came back to it in the morning and some tosser had written with marker all over his bonnet.

What's the best method to get rid of it? He's tried white spirit with no joy.



All help appreciated

I've read that maybe if you spray lynx on it, it'll remove it?

Also going over the marker with a dry-wipe marker apparantly removes it

The dry board marker does work on wipe boards but not sure about painted parts.

He seriously tried Whitespirit? Cant that be used as a paint thinner? If so is his bodywork now all stripped back to the metal?
