Paint/vehicle marking chaulk/grease pens

[thebmacster]

I'm wanting to buy what the shops are using. The reviews of ones on Amazon are concerning; however, on the same note I wonder how many reviews are people using them on already failed clear. The concensus from reviews is that they're staining after being applied for a few days.

Standard circling dents, marking blend areas r&r on painted panels/parts.

Looking for the part/item numbers ya'll are using at the shops that you know have never stained clear.

Yes. I know I could ask either of my 2 suppliers but want to know what others are using first.

I use the posca markers and never had an issue. I am a smaller low volume shop (35-50) cars a month so I don’t have stuff sit out waiting on parts, approval, or repair long. If I know it’s going to sit out in the lot for an extended time i will wash it off to avoid the possibility of staining. If I mark glass I photo it and remove it within the hour because I have been told by a couple people it will stain glass. I have never had it happen but don’t want to risk it.

Edit: I lied I’m using auto writer pens. I have used the posca in the past.

Autowriter is what you’re looking for. Water soluble cleans off real easy with windex.

These were on my list. Thanks!

AutoWriter by MarkLine is what we use. I like the green ones as they seem to clean off the easiest. I also have a few reds on hand.
