Removing paint & magic marker graffiti from computer cases - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Excellent suggestion!

After you finish, try applying a coat of "Armor-All."  Though that's
another
automotive product, it puts a coat of wax on the case so other forms of
grime can be wiped off, and it gives the case a "new" feel.

That all-too-common stain and stink from tobacco smoke, by the way, comes
out easily with "409" cleanser.

I use CitriSolv, a fairly common citrus-based solvent. It's not so nasty
to your skin or lungs, and treats most hard plastics and painted surfaces
gentle enough. It's the only thing that takes the Thrift Stores' sharpie
graffitti off of this stuff...

Hope that helps,
