My 3 year old sister drew on the top of my xbox 360 with a blue pen and I don't know how to safely remove it, any suggestions?

try non-aerosol hairspray and a toothbrush. If that don't work try soap.

Use Goo Gone if you're not able to get it out with rubbing alcohol. You can find it in common places like Wal-Mart.

And if that doesn't work go to home depot and buy some M.E.K. or Paint Stripper/Thinner wink.gif

BINGO! Those things are AMAZING, and they won't fuck up the finish on your 360. Look no further...

Thanks peepz, I'll try your suggestions and get back to you. I guess I'll start with rubbing alcohol, since it's most readily available, and work my way around the easy stuff, and I heard goo be gone before, but I didn't quite know if that was safe to use on my X360.

<3 my 360, I got it like 1 month after launch and have been neglecting it, I'm about to buy some more games and stuff, and I wanted it to shine like the day I bought it for said occasion.

I'd 2nd the goo-gone... it's great for removing most crap and IIRC it's citrus based so it doesn't harm anything. Mostly comes in handy to remove adhesive residue from disc cases after you remove the stickers. I used it on my car to get rid of the emblem adhesive when I debadged it and it even removed spray paint from when my roommates car got tagged in college beerchug.gif

I've tried a few of the imitations too (goof-off, get-off, gone-goo, etc.) and none of them work as well.
