DONT use purple stuff! its way too strong. i used it once on a pc case, and
where it dripped and/or sat on the case, the paint was a lighter shade. its
very strong, so if you take appropriate measures, it will clean most anything.
the best thing i've found is armor all all-purpose cleaner. safe, and cleans
good and wont draw the colour out of anything. it you use lots of it with hot
water, it even removes the grease pen price marks from thrift stores.

If I recall, the FAQ recommends something called
"Purple Stuff". I don't
know
what it is or how well it works or how hard you have to scrub, if at all --
I've never used it.

Use Touch of Oranges for crayon or grease pencil. Melts it like butter,
no scrubbing or hard rubbing required.

Lighter fluid works just as good on them since they are petroleum based and so is
lighter fluid. I write with grease pencil on the fronts of machines in storage to
know what they have and the condition. When I do a finish cleaning to ship or
deliver I just take a little lighter fluid on the writing and it's gone.

Unless it's porous, it is generally not going to affect the paint or finish. I
wouldn't
use it on unsealed wood or cloth as it will soak in and possibly stain it. It will make
glues that are rubber cement based loosen though, so keep it away from stickers and
logos that you don't want loose.
