Anybody know how to remove marker from Simonis? My son took a dry erase marker and made a circle - see photo in comment below. I put some rubbing alcohol on a microfiber cloth and dabbed it several times, which helped fade it about 50% but it's still there.

The above photo is the original, before I used any alcohol.
Been told that BrakeKleen works well. has same stuff that dry-cleaning solution uses. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/how-to-remove-stain-from-simonis-860.63508/
Sorry to hear about your predicament. A couple few years ago I got some blood on my cloth and used dawn dish soap and then hydrogen peroxide and lukewarm water (later learned cold only with blood). It worked very well although it did bleach the cloth a little bit, but that didn’t matter much because it was around the racking area and it was already faded.
Brake cleaner could be a good bet although I don’t think it is what it used to be with lower VOC’s.
My wife has a little mini shampoo vacuum called a spot bot or something that has worked really well with pet/kid things around the house and to clean the family truckster.
Whatever you try next, it’s safe to say it’s had time to set in, so if you have a piece of break cloth maybe mark that and try a couple things.

Ok, as a father, I gotta ask...
How old is he and how did that conversation with junior go?

Your cloth looks pretty new and I would be pretty frustrated in your shoes. I don’t want to tell you how to feel, but perhaps I could add a little bit of levity to the situation.
Instead of working a regular job, my wife always looked after all our nieces and nephews and close friends kids so both of their parents could work.
One weekend my wife’s grandma gave us this almost brand new really nice couch we never could have afforded. I told my wife I was going to get a cover for it and only take it off when company came over. People would walk in and think, “dang this place is full of a bunch of busted up crap,” but then they would see that couch and hear heaven’s golden chorus sing and realize we were respectable folk.
The rule was no drinks outside of the kitchen, but when you have 6 or 7 kids all needing something from you… I got home from work the first day after we got it and my wife told me my nephew Matthew spilled red kool aid all over one of the cushions. The cushion was sewed in and you couldn’t flip it.
“Line up!”
Several tiny faces stared up at me as I railed about rules and not being able to have nice things. I was giving the lecture to all, but it was Matthew who got the eye contact most of the time. I thought I was getting through to him when I watched him turn to his sister Leiah and whisper something in her ear. She immediately started giggling.
“What is so funny young lady!?”
“He says your new couch is gonna be an old couch someday.”
From the mouths of babes. I do believe I quit caring so much about “stuff” that day.
That couch has rotted in a landfill by now. I treasure those memories of drinking half sour kool aid and playing with those kids in my busted up house.

Set up shots and try to leave the cueball inside the circle
He’ll be 3 in April. He doesn’t really know any better so there wasn’t much use getting upset. It sucks but it couldve been much worse.Ok, as a father, I gotta ask...

I was playing darts the night before and left the marker out so it’s partially my fault. My wife also should have been keeping an eye on him while I was taking a nap but she got distracted I guess. Regardless, I didn’t get too mad at anyone about it.
Also, I didn’t catch him in the act, otherwise I would’ve probably flipped out. I found out later that night after he was asleep. So I had plenty of time to calm down and accept it before finally having a chance to talk with him.
It's just started.
But you'll miss the hell out of shit like that in a few short years.
