Hmmm, the paint is a bit difficult, but for the "Permanent" magic marker
mess, I've found that Rubbing Alchol works wonders. It's the same stuff
used in alchol lamps. You can buy it in a large container, and it might
even work for the spray paint.
The problem with the spray paint will be removing it, but not the painted
surface underneath. Good luck on that. You might try some 'Kleen-Klean'
(I think that's the name), it used to be available at home building supply
stores in the US, but I've not looked for any for years so am not sure if
it still is.
The key word is that no matter what you try, try it on a small area,
preferably out of sight!
