How do I get nail polish streaks off car?

Use a Q Tip or cotton swab and Goof Off. Dab over the streaks getting as little as possible on the paint. It should soften the nail polish you can scrape off with a credit card. You can also try with nail polish remover. Bug and Tar remover from the auto parts store may work.

Nora, I would first try a little light scrubbing with a magic eraser but honestly, I would just take it right in to your local body shop and get their opinion.

I would call a body shop and ask them for recommendations to protect the paint and finish on your car

That's happened to us, usually a little polishing compound on a rag will buff it away.

This is regular paint scuffs, but my work for fingernail polish remover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zzq5f8x5f4

Try rubbing alcohol, it should remove the nail polish.

Hi! WD40 should remove it. It works on scratches, too!

You could try dabbing it very, very lightly with nail polish remover.

I agree that a Magic Eraser might work, too. But work carefully. I once used a Magic Eraser to get permanent marker stain off my kitchen table, and it removed some of the finish on the table!

Factory paint jobs are baked and clear coated. Go ahead and use the cheap nail polish remover (50% acetone).

I do light body work on cars and I use 100% acetone with no problems.

The same fingernail polish remover you use on your nails will work just fine. The only problem it might cause is to also remove any wax currently on the area.

I would use the nail polish remover that takes off what is on the person's nails. That would be the ideal solvent for it. If gel, acetone would work, hopefully it will not ruin the clearcoat on the car. If you don't know what takes off that particular nail polish, WD40 should remove it, Use a microfiber cloth.

You can definitely make use of nail polish remover or acetone and it will come right off, and immediately wash the area well to remove residue to ensure that there's no residue.

USe a car compound

Using some buffing compound and a orbital polisher it should buff out.
