I tried some of the XYL's nail polish remover, which contains acetone -- it works!
Tomorrow I'll get some pure stuff at the hardware store. Thanks to everyone who suggested
this.

How do you get this off? I've tried 91% isopropyl alcohol and various
petroleum-based
solvents without success. I would hate to use anything abrasive because then I
would have
to polish the whole thing to make it look nice again. I hope there is something
I can buy
at the hardware store!
I don't understand why the manufacturer didn't put the printing on the
unprotected side.

If they use the same marker as here in the UK cellulose thinners gets
it off. I am a race car engineer and I use a lot of aluminium in sheet
and other forms, that's what works on ali sheet here. Good luck!
