Hi S.

If you use a dry cloth and a little elbow grease it should take it right off. Good luck L.

Hi, S. - Sol-U-Mel by Melaleuca gets anything off any surface; (removes any stain, smell, etc. all without harmful chemicals.) We had it get yellow road paint off my daughter's navy blue Jeep! Good luck. N.

Dear S.,

As much as I wish I could give advise on how to safely remove crayon marks from the roof of your car (it has not happened to me yet, but, I'm sure it will happen someday, LOL), I do not know. But, maybe do a practice test on fabric with a "Magic Eraser". Good luck - just test it first! :)

Sincerely,
K. W.

you can use a little VMP& T Naptha. use a diaper like cloth, gently rub the mark with the naptha and it should come off.

Naptha will not hurt the paint job on your car if you don't rub too hard.

let me know if that works.

I'm also curious about this ~ my 4 year old wrote on the roof liner above her carseat with crayolas. My husband will not be pleased when he notices it! I'm afraid to do too much to the liner because I'm afraid it will start to sag.

Good luck with this dilemna!

Baby oil removes crayon, but it may also ruin the surface you put it on. Try a little dab of it to test first. Good luck!

maybe the magic eraser. It took crayon right off my wood floor. Good luck.

Gold Canyon has wax remover that will dissolve the wax, test in a small are, but I use it on carpeting, furniture, and clothing and it does the job!

YOu can purchase it at www.wix-n-stix.com under CANDLES and Candle care.
