I would like to go around my car marking up every paint chip and dent, so that I can then deal with them.

Is there any sort of marker pen or similar that would allow me to draw a circle around each of them, and that would then easily wash/wipe off when I'm finished? Perhaps the sort of thing that breakers yards use to label spare parts?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

That looks perfect, thanks!

(Wonder why my Google-fu didn't find it...)

I did have to rephrase my search a few times. Used to work in a body shop so we'd often mark up cars for insurance photos or after repair if there was a big defect.

I wonder if a local body shop supplies type place would sell them?
