How do I go about removing the crayon marked numbers off of a machine that has been through a dealership or an auction? The paint seems to fade quicker than the numbers do. Of course I mean without having to repaint afterwards. Thanks.

I have just about seen everything used on tractors and machinery to wright on them. Soap stone, crayons, chalk, markers, you name it. There are alot of different types of make ups in our various crayons. Finding an adjent that will affect the markings will depend on the make up of the crayon. Here is a tip on markings that are on glass. Use a sharp razor blade and just simply scrap it off. Be sure it is sharp becuase one that is nicked up or dull will scratch the glass. When I am at an auction and buy something I make sure that auction helpers scribble my bidding number on an area that is not painted such as a tire. If I was to buy something that had already been marked on by a dealership I would insist that they removed the markes before the deal was complete. Dealerships should know not to use a marker that will damage the paint. If they mark on the paint, they should know a safe way to take it off. Not knowing what kind of marker they used would make it tuff for someone else to guess what to use to take it off.

Try some "Goof off" I think you can find it in just about any hardware store. I'd test some where to see if it harms the paint.

If the paint is faded, I'd use polishing compound or rubbing coumpound.

I'd try a clorinated solvent like CRC Brakleen. It disolves a lot of things. You probably ought to try some in an inconspicuous place first to make sure it doesn't take off the paint too.
