Have you tried an alcohol wipe?

You will need to reapply lsp afterwards though.

Methanol is the best solvent to use as this will remove the marker pen without removing the paint. Something like acetone will lift the paint off, petrol won't work anywhere near as well as methanol does. Hope this helps you.

Methylated sprit, then rewax or reseal, depending on what LSP you use. As said above, polishing isn't needed, as marker pen is a surface contaminant, not a sub-surface defect. Because it doesn't sit very proud, claying won't help much, so a solvent based approach is best.
