While understand want to DIY, would take it to dry cleaners and let them handle mark.
Plastic will indeed require some sort of solvent to remove, but which one will do best job is another matter. If there is pigment involved plastic and any remaining color residue must be dealt with. In old days would suggest running down to chemists for a tin of benzene, but don't believe that still is on offer to private consumers. home.howstuffworks.com/stain-rem... books.google.nl/booksQUESTIONMAR... |

It is true that benzene is not available any more to private consumer, but xylene is, and it is quite "similar" |

FWIW, brakleen is perchloroethylene, or at the very least it can be. theres a number of formulas that are under the same name, but one of them is solely perchloroethylene. it is also sometimes called tetrachloroethylene. |
