Aluminum Cleaner?

[jon_k]

Ok,so I have a Lian Li V1000 case. Beautiful, beautiful case made of 100% brushed aluminum. However, I must have dropped a sharpie on one of the side panels because there is a small black mark, and no matter how much I scrub it won't come off. I tried rubbing alcohol, and it got a little bit of it off, but not completely.

So my question is this, do they make a product that is designed to clean and polish aluminum?

I use non abrasive Stainless steel cleaner. you can get it at the grocery store in the cleaning isle... it is for SS appliances and it works great on my PC-7b

Use 90% Isopropyl Alcohol.

Use 90% Isopropyl Alcohol.

Glad to see you didnt read the OP

Isopropyl does not work as well once the ink has dried for several hours.

Acetone should do the trick.

Glad to see you don't know what rubbing alchohol is(In most cases 70% Isopropyl).

Also leave it on for a min. or so then wipe it off.

Have 3 bottles of "rubbing alcohol" here (as per labels).

70% Isopropyl - 90% Isopropyl - 90% Ethyl

acetone should work - cigarette lighter fluid or lacquer thinner. also you can try flitz metal polish, or novus plastic polish.

On dried up sharpie marks I use aerosol deodorant (axe, old spice) to get them off. Just spray a generous amount on the mark and you should see right away that it desolves. Then gently wipe away the residue. At my highschool kids always mark up lockers so its always handy to have deodorant =)

It's funny, you tell the person who was right that he's wrong but then when you are confronted with it you use the "most cases" clause to back you out...
