use your whiteboard marker and scribble over the writing and rub really hard with a soft cloth before the new pen has a chance to dry.

Permanent Marker
Ok, i have this kinda like a whiteboard but it's a piece of card which is a basically just like a whiteboard stuck to my pinboard (it was cheaper) which i write on things that i need to remember.
Anyway, this last week i was a bit stressy and not realising what i was doing i used my permanent marker instead of my whiteboard marker
By the time i came to wipe them off they wouldn't.
So, does anyone know how i could get the permanent marker off without ruining the board? I really can't be arsed going back to staples to buy another one lol.
...i accept that this makes me seem a bit dim, but i think you all knew that anyway

Nail varnish remover. Or failing that, vodka!
Not sure what it'll do to the board, but it should be okay. I'll buy you a new one if I'm wrong

Failing either of those, colour the whole thing black (so it's a blackboard) and use white markers to write on it from now on. Or maybe not.

Cellulose thinners will remove permenant marker, but might react to the surface of the board

Thanks guys. In the end, i managed to use Gerri's idea of rubbing the wipeboard pen over it and clearing some of it, then used nail varnish remover to give it a clean. Now it looks shiny and new!

I was gonna suggest toothpaste - it removes it from tiles, so thought it might remove it from your whiteboard but seeing as you've cleaned it now, it doesn't matter
