Thanks for your advice in advance
I wouldnt pour alcohol on the paint and leave it for an hour. However, it wont break down the clear coat unless it is very freshly painted and even then they would have to have made an error in the mixture for the clear coat.

Alcohol is a solvant, but it is very mild.

You will need to use something that will strip off the wax coating and any other dirt, grime or grease otherwise you will have a problem keeping the markers attached to the vehicle.
