I bought a box of 100 alcohol wipes, the kind the wipe your arm with prior to giving you an injection, I carry several in my tool bag and when I need to remove marker, nail polish, etc. I drag one out and rub off the offending mark. They're also handy for a single alcohol/water treatment of a flange, you can squeeze out a drop or 2 for the flange bushing.
