Careful with this idea, nail polish remover will melt some plastics! Test on an edge first!

Hair spray or WD-40. I know WD-40 takes permanent ink off a lot of things.

So, did it come off?? Curious minds want to know!

And if so, what took it off?

91% isopropyl alcohol will take it right off. It is sold right beside the much weaker 70% regular alcohol. About 1.00 a bottle.

A slightly damp Mr Clean Magic eraser works wonders. Has to be the original one though.

Yes, I totally agree. Nail polish remover is a whole different kind of remover.
