I haven't tried it myself, but read recently that if you go over permanent marker with dry erase marker, then rub it off with the dry erase brush both marks will be removed. Good luck.

How should I go about removing Sharpie from an old tin lunch box without removing the paint?
By trinityk
Just a suggestion try clean the marks off from the inside. Tin should be thin enough for the derutent hot water wax.
If you have any acetone or nail Polish remover it should work. Ithe worked for me
I looked her for advice to remove Sharpie pen on a beautiful metal flask. I tied Comet and a wet rag. Bam! Came off so easily! Thanks for the suggestion!
If you draw over the sharpie with a dry erase marker it should wipe off.
Worked like a charm for the inside of a computer chasis too!
What did you mix the commet with? And what was the ratio?
Tried Comet on a galvanized bucket. DOESN'T WORK! Waste of time.
I have permanent marker on metal bathroom stalls. How do I get it off?
You can draw over it with a dry erase marker and use a rag to wipe off.
I do the dry erase marker trick, too but sometimes when there's some left over, I will use wd-40 and a soft cloth
To remove sharpie from metal,you'd have to keep scrubbing soap and water on the sharpie mark until the mark fades away.I hoped this worked!!!
Oust air freshener will bring it off non-porous surfaces. My toddler covered the floors and coffee table with a sharpie.
Some mean girl had written all over my Hermès belt buckle with Sharpie! Bar Keepers Friend (type of Ajax scrub) lifted it off!
THANK YOU!! the dry erase marker worked like a charm. alcohol and acetone didnt do it.
How do I remove Sharpie marker from an aluminum ladder?
Try a white cotton rag dipped in rubbing alcohol to buff it out.
Write over it with a dry-erase marker. Then wipe off.
Nail polish remover can do the trick!!
I would use nail polish remover because it works great to remove sharpies for all kinds of surfaces.
I found that using tooth paste and a tooth brush made it fade and then I rubbed an eraser over it and it faded a lot more
