I don't know if this should go into detailing or not, but also has to do with a repair, so I am placing it here.

Some bozo backed into my 560 SEL, and it got a nasty dent in the trunk lid. It was a hit and run at a local Costco parking lot, and I was not there when it happened. My car is otherwise dentless.

So after looking at different options, I decided I could save dough (insurance deductible is $250) by getting another trunk lid at the boneyard (in this case, Potomac German Auto Parts). They sold me a nice lid, undamaged, for $68, mostly matching in color. It was a breeze to put on.

MOSTLY matching in color. Since it's a boneyard, almost everything visible has those yellow crayon markings all over it. So did, of course, the trunk lid. It does not visually harmonize with the overall black color of the vehicle.

So here is the question to the experts: How do you get rid of the yellow, near flourecent crayon marking without damaging the paint (or repainting the entire car flourescent yellow)? Is rubbing alcohol ok?

Thanks!
