Removing Sharpy/ permanent marker.

Hello. Looking for some help of removing permanent marker off one of the tubes that has been labelled "rescue" I want to remove it without discolouring the orange.

Many thanks

You almost certainly won't get it all off. A "wear" patch is probably the best aesthetic solution.

Try baby wipes. They get it off skin but that might be because of skin oils

WD40 takes it off lots of things but not sure about hypalon.

There are some specialist pen/marker removers which may do the trick....it's the Hyperlon that's the variable,but depending on...worth a try.
Other than that Polys suggestion (depends on size and place ect)of marks ect is the other option...you maybe able to "Ballance" the aesthetics by applying another

RIBase
I think the ink will have penetrated the hypalon & permanently stained it. MEK or Acetone might work, but I think the wear patches already mentioned will be the way to go.

Whether it work on the the tube or not I don't know, but colouring over with whiteboard pen lifts permanent marker off plastic.
