Default Removing permanent marker from vinyl?

Anyway to remove permanent marker from vinyl?

Tried magic eraser - no work.

Would diluted bleach work without screwing up my vinyl?

Try a little soft scrub with bleach and leave it in the sun. It will go away.

Nail polish remover should work. It's acetone with some moisturizers mixed in. I'd rinse well after applying it.

The two things I've used have already been mentioned.

Nail polish remover and soft scrub with bleach.

I wouldn't mind knowing about the peanut butter thing.

Try one of these Chad. They are made for fabrics, and do a great job. Apply a little, and let it sit for awhile. It may take a couple of applications, but it will fade it away safely.
