Remove white writing on frame

So does anyone have a way of remove the white writing all over the frame on my new trailer? I think it's probably a paint stick. I would rather remove it than paint over it. I don't know why they do that.
  • I think I figured out how to add a picture now. This is the writing on one side of my trailer tongue.
  • I think I will have to paint it because anything that will remove the writing will also remove the paint. I just didn't want to paint all the frame and I know it won't match if I don't.
    I'm surprised that they send new trailers out like this. I saw a very nice three year old trailer last weekend with white writing all over it. I know I'm picky about stuff like this and maybe it doesn't bother other people.

    Never heard of that. Are you talking about spray air freshener? Like febreze or something?

    I guess I knew why they mark them I'm just surprised that they leave it like that. And I think you're right about painting over it.
  • Mine is still there 10 years later, but the siding extends down to the bottom of the frame. so its not seen unless you are down on your knees.
