Answer 1

Wetsand the marker off using wet sandpaper 2000Grit, or finer.

Then use a POLISH not a wax.

Wax is bad for the clearcoat finish that all cars nowadays use.
The paint has to breathe if you put wax on it it cannot breathe - and you will get that fading color (oxidization)
Then you will be repainting the whole car.

in accordance to no matter if or not they are plastic or paper, if plastic, attempt the nice and cozy temperature gun (heavily) and a non-metal scraper to initiate it, then peel it off, using Acetone to get rid of any residue (you could ought to bathe and develop into the area even as dry as Acetone will get rid of all wax from the paint to boot) If paper, soak the area with water (or position a damp towel over the area for a lengthy time period and get rid of with a non-metal scraper or manually. Use Acetone to get rid of any residue.

If you just got it, then I would go back to the dealership and say that the new car prep people missed a spot and you want it taken care of. I really wouldn't say it like that, but that is the gist of what I would say.
