Toothpaste combined with De-Solv-it stain remover and lots of elbow grease AFTER it has been absorbed by the varnished surface!

Be careful using acetone on a gloss clear plastic! It will dull the finish and it is ruined. I work with clear plastic film that is applied to cars for paint protection. My 2 year old son used a nice sharpie to draw a great picture on one of cars that has the plastic film and my wife tried using acetone to get it out. It did get the sharpie out, but it ruined the paint protection film. Just sayin.

WD-40 worked very easy, with no damge. I used it on plastic.

Tried Olive oil cooking spray on grey sharpie that had been on a wood desktop for quite sometime. Removed it all with no damage to the desk surface.

@ Sarah
I tried the 91% rubbing alcohol on a wooden bed frame, that had been written on by a sharpie marker and it worked GREAT! Thanks.
