My poor Car..... red sharpie
Ok,
So I have no idea why anyone would do this to my car.... don't even know a lot of people in this city, not enough time to make any enemies. Anyways, this either happened in a parking lot downtown or the party I was at last night. It had better be downtown because it was a work party. I would be incredibly disappointed if someone I worked with did this ****.
But for the real question, how do I get this off? I have rubbed with soap and water. That works to a point but the outline is still there. I'll try goo gone next. The stripes aren't as bad because they can be replaced but on the paint.... thats just not right.
Any advice for getting this off (I think it is sharpie)

Go buy a dry erase marker and use it to "erase" the permanent marker. Obviously, you will have a bigger mess, since you now have dry erase marker over the permanent marker, but grab a wipe and wipe off the marker...It should work.
Disclaimer: This works in Dry Erase surfaces!! I have personally tried it in fridges, walls, model cars (lil cousin) and works. Try this in your car at your own risk.

I've used Turpentine to remove sharpie from wallpaper and painted walls but I don't know the effects it would have on the paint/clearcoat of a car. It would probably do the trick though at least on the vinyl of your stripe.

RE: My poor Car..... red sharpie
DO NOT use finger nail polish remover or lacquer thinner. You will ruin the paint permanently. Some clear coat safe polishing compound (KIT makes one they sell in Wally World) should do the trick followed my a good wax.
Let us know how you make out.
