So I just got back from school for the summer yesterday.  Haven't driven the mustang in a while and I felt the need to take it out.  Well at one point I noticed a mark on the dashboard.  I look a lil bit closer and it looked like a line from a marker or sharpie.  There is maybe a 1.5" line on the black part of the dashboard right by the ignition.  Does anybody know of anything that could remove this mark???  It kills me to see this mark on my baby.  It was an accident from a family member, so it's not vandalism, but I want to get this removed w/out ruining the dash.  Someone help!

Maybe lightly rubbing it with a fingernail polish remover pad?

+1...Or Try some Mineral spirits but be REALLY careful because it will take the black right off the dash

Do you think alcohol would take off permanent marker?

Yes.  The car stays at home while I am at school.  First of all, I don't trust it up there.  Second of all, I go to school in Ohio and this car does not see the snow.  That being said, recently my sis was driving it due to my mom's car being in the shop.  I guess she was addressing an envelope and slipped or something w/the marker.  Don't ask me how, I am as baffled as you are.  So that is how my car got marked up without me knowing about it.  What would be the most effective product w/out being too abrasive.  If I have to, I would rather start with the weakest solution and progress to stronger solutions.  I don't want to ruin the dash piece.

I use lots of 99% Isopropyl Alcohol in my line of work. I takes of felt tip marker ink very quickly. Just go to your favorite drug store and get the 95% alcohol. Standard rubbing alcohol has too much water in it. Take a rag, dampen it and gently rub it off. I use it for cleaning electonics contacts and removing the stickey stuff from labels. Goo Gone is good, however it leaves a oily residue that we then remove with alcohol.

The fastest and least invasive way to remove permanent marker from any hard surface is to mark over it with a dry erase pen (the one you write on "white boards" with), then just erase the mark...trust me it works everytime...

NO NO NO NO, It will mess your dash up don't do it!!!!!! Use WD40 or alcohol. Damn man, I hope he didn't do what you suggested. It is acetone and will melt the freaking plastic!!!

ACETONE + PLASTIC AND PAINTED SURFACES = DISASTER!!!!

No worries, I didn't try anything yet.  I think I am going to start with some rubbing alcohol and see if that works.  Someone also suggested one of those magic erasers.  If the rubbing alcohol doesn't seem to work, I may try that.  I will try it today when I wash her up.  We have drag races right across the street from me at the local airport here.  Not sure if I'm going to race her yet or not.  I will at least take it over and enjoy the nice weather.

Very true.  Not sure if it's on the hard surface or not.

Good grief.....I made a simple suggestion.   I didn't tell him to saturate the damn dash with it.  Yes I am very aware the ACETONE will MELT PLASTIC..........but only after soaking it with the nail polish remover.   You may note that I suggested "lightly rubbing" with a small fingernail polish remover pad!!!!!!!!!!!!

And hell no I am not a man............I am a female.       It's no wonder there aren't many females that actually contribute to this forum.

not many females have the desire to go online and talk about cars, for one.

no offense, but it's obviously a male territory - might want to be prepared to deal with it sometimes.
