Removing Nail Polish Off a Car

RE: Removing Nail Polish Off a Car Post By TEXASDARLING (Guest Post) (06/27/2007) I was at my usually car wash place a few years ago and a man came in with his truck spray painted with a can of spray paint. Because he had wax on it as a new car would they buffed it off in no time. Whatever you do, do it soon and keep the car out of the heat.

An auto paint shop specialist would be able to take off only the polish and then apply a clear coat to restore any lost shine. good luck!

I'd also call the police department and your insurance company. RE: Removing Nail Polish Off a Car Post By Belle (Guest Post) (06/25/2007) With my husbands car i just used nail polish remover on it. Someone had keyed it up horribley, so we needed to touch up the paint, of course he didnt want me to do it, so he did it himself and messed it up. So I had to go back and fix it, I just used nail polish remover right on the car, ( non-acetone) i even let it set on there for a minute, and there wasnt any damage to the finish. Of course I would recomend testing it first in an inconspicious area ( like the edge of the tire opening, to see how your finish reacts before actually using it on the main part of the car. If it works then just use a Q-tip and go over the remover. :) I hope this helps!
