Having nail varnish spill onto your car paint can be a frustrating experience. Removing it without causing damage to the car’s paint job is possible, but it requires the right technique. This article will provide you with the tools and guidance to successfully remove nail varnish from your car paint.
Why is Nail Varnish a Problem?
Nail varnish is a gel or liquid that contains a variety of chemicals. These chemicals can be damaging to car paint, so it’s important to remove the varnish quickly and correctly. If left on the car paint for too long, the chemicals can cause the paint to oxidize or discolor.
Removing Nail Varnish
Before attempting to remove the nail varnish, you should park your car in a well-ventilated area. This will ensure that any chemical odors that arise during the removal process are not trapped inside the car.
To begin the process of removing the nail varnish, you will need to gather the following materials:
• Soft cloths
• Car wax
• Car shampoo
• Automotive cleaner
• Automotive polish
• Automotive wax
• Plastic razor blade
• Nail varnish remover
Step 1: Apply Automotive Cleaner
Using a soft cloth, apply an automotive cleaner to the area of the car affected by the nail varnish. Allow the cleaner to sit on the paint for a few moments before wiping it off. This will help to loosen the bond between the nail varnish and the paint.
Step 2: Scrape Away the Nail Varnish
Using a plastic razor blade, gently scrape away the nail varnish. Be careful not to press too hard, as this could damage the car paint.
Step 3: Remove Residue with Nail Varnish Remover
Nail varnish remover can be used to remove any residue that remains after scraping away the nail varnish. Apply a small amount of nail varnish remover to a cloth, and gently rub it into the area of the car affected by the nail varnish. Be sure to avoid contact with the car’s paint, as the nail varnish remover can damage it.
Step 4: Wash
