Default Removing graffiti from paint

Any suggestions for removing this nice “tag” on the side of my Magnetic truck? It was done yesterday and I think it is marker.

I was thinking Goo Gone but don’t want to create any swirls or paint issues.

Thanks!

If it was my truck and I wasn't sure exactly what I was doing I would find a good, good being the keyword here, detailer and let them do it. I have a good friend who is a crazy good detailer and its amazing what they can do while keeping the integrity of the clear and paint.

Show it to a police officer and see if it is a gang marking. Then try a little rubbing alcohol to see if it comes off. Just a little itty bitty spot. If not head to a good detailer and let them do their magic.

I'd try something like ColorBack or McGuire's makes a good Product that I've used if I get a little paint transfer.

Use Duplicolor tar and wax remover. The stuff is amazing, and doesn't harm the paint.

I would rather have that than someone that Keyed my truck--it still sucks but Im sure a wax with some cleaner in it will get rid of it---
