What's a good solvent to remove permanent marker on outdoor plastic?

What part of "permanent marker" do you find confusing?

It's highly unlikely that any solvent will remove permanent marker from
plastic without damaging the plastic. You might try naphtha (lighter fluid),
but if gasoline didn't work, that probably won't either. Acetone or lacquer
thinner may remove the marks, but they're almost sure to harm the plastic as
well.
I use Laquer thinner alot, to clean plastic before painting, never
hurt any of it.
