I faintly remember discussions about removing  Sharpie Ink from plexiglass but when I do the search I am obviously not asking  the right questions; so I need help. After doing a nice job on my wing tip  lenses I stupidly grabbed some acetone to clean off the ink marks--fortunately I  only smudged a small area.  Is there a way to get rid of the hazy smudge,  and what should I have used in the first place?  Thanks

You're pretty much stuck with it for all practical purposes, unless

you want to sand and polish it, which will leave it uneven.

Kerosene is the preferred solvent.  I was also able to use

DX-33 (I think that's the right number) the PPG stuff you use

during painting to clean things, without harming the plexi, but I

didn't leave it on long.

Well, the best advice is to not get the sharpie on the lens where it can be seen!!!    

 But, since you're past that, you might be able to polish it out with some toothpaste, or some paint compound from the auto parts store.  It'll take some elbow grease, but refrain from using to large a grit ..... this is best done slowly.

Try Flitz at www.flitz.com, it worked great for me. Expensive  at $22 for 5 oz, but worth it. David O Boone
