[CAUT] Cleaning up..., part 2

Yes, even pen, on black damper heads.  Why? I dunno.  How much IS moronic squared, anyway?

I guess nothing short of sanding and refinishing will remove the indentations.

Pen, on black damper heads? How could they see anything? 
Or are these finished brown wood? 

Indentations --- I don't think you'll get rid of them 
any time soon.

Thanks Wim, Dale, Gerry and Susan for your responses. 

Susan, writing has been done with chalk, pencil, pen... everything short of an engraver, it seems!  Some of these implements (aided by their heavy-handed users) have left indentations.

Yamaha recommends using naptha to remove adhesive residue from their high gloss poly dampers, and this has worked well for us. Â What would clean adhesive and writing (!) off of satin lacquer finished dampers (such as Steinway)?

Citrus solvent is much nicer to be around than naphtha, assuming that its oily nature doesn't react badly with the satin finish. 
I tend to use a few drops of citrus solvent on a barely damp shop towel for adhesive residues. It has to be dry enough not 
to drip down onto the damper felt, of course.

What was the writing done with? Has it left an indented impression on the damper heads?
