Try using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. You can buy them at almost any store that carries household cleaning supplies. They are a most amazing product.

Answer 4

just keep washing.. permanent marker isn't as permanent as people say.. and if not, why don't you just paint over it again?

Answer 5

Prime the area, and then paint over it with regular white paint. It is most likely a standard white exterior paint. You could also try Simple Green, a spray cleaner. Good stuff.

Answer 6

I know nail polish remover will remove permanent marker from counter tops I dont know if it will work on fences

Answer 7

Paint over it with white paint or whatever color matches it

Answer 8

At the paint store you can buy a spray can or a quart can of a pigmented stain sealer a good one is called Z-prime. One or two coats of the Z-prime then touch-up with your original paint over the top. If you try to use solvent it will probably wipe the original finish off and will not look as well.
