I just tried several things on an old plastic TM slide...

Mr Clean Magic Eraser - is apparently just a very very fine abrasive, it ended up sanding off a very fine layer of the slide and trades. Don't even bother trying this. (Essentially, it ruined the appearance of the slide, jsut as 1500 grit wet sand paper would)

HOT tap water & Toothbrush - Nothin

Oxy Clean & Toothbrush - Nope

Goo-Gone & Toothbrush - Notta

Orange Glo & Toothbrush - Removed -some- of the crayon, but you could hardly claim that it works.

Tooth Pick - Worked the best overall, still some crayon left over in the tight corners... It's good, cause the soft wood of the toothpick won't scratch the plastic, even if you TRY. Very time consuming, and still doesn't remove 100% of the crayon.

I'm not going to bother attempting boiling water, I assume this will warp the plastic slide.

Any other bright ideas?
