[SGT]

We mark all windshields on the drivers side with a paint marker. We have tried different different brands but have not found one that is superior and they all have been messy. It has been my experience that silver seems to hold up the best. We mark windshields not only to know what we have looked at but also to determine what the new vehicles are on the lot. Also give you an indication of how sales are doing. We still look all vehicles over for damage though.

The one marker that I see being used by the dealerships that is superior and have thought about using is the good ole sharpie. They are a little harder to see, limited color choices but appear to withstand the elements and lot washing much better. They are also less messy.
