Default marking slicks

Wanting to mark my drag radials. To see if I can catch on video when it starts spinning and stops. Question what to use that is easy to get off. I'm leaning towards sidewalk chalk. Any suggestions

I've used shoe polish before and seem to wash off pretty easy. Also when your marking them, I like to use a paint pen where the valve stem is to see any wheel movement on the tire

I used my window marker to put a mark in line with my valve stem. I did this when i suspected the tire was slipping on the rim
