Does anyone know how to get glitter nail polish off the paint of an Explorer?

My niece drew some squiggles and a few letters on my Explorer paint job with glitter nail polish and I need to get it off without taking off the paint. This is a leased vehicle.Does anyone know how to get glitter nail polish off the paint of an Explorer?
FZ or Flitz Metal polish will remove the nail polish without hurting the paint. It comes in a paste form. Apply a small dab of it on the polish and buff it with a soft cotton cloth. FZ and Flitz can be found in many sporting goods stores. I Have used this to remove my ex-wife's nail polish off the hood of my Navigator and it worked great.Does anyone know how to get glitter nail polish off the paint of an Explorer?
Did you try a product called Goo Gone? Sometimes is softens substances enough to remove. DON';T USE NAIL POLISH REMOVER!! Or that Tar remover stuff in the auto department.
Most of the cars today have a “clear coat” paint job that keeps the base paint from being damaged buy road tar and other contaminants. The fingernail polish unless I miss my guess is a lacquer base and if you use a lacquer thinner, you can pull the marks off without damaging the paint. Try it in a small area and if the base paint does not begin to come off you are home free. Once you have removed the marks the paint may be a little dull, that is when you get out the toothpaste and a soft rag and rub the area to bring the gloss back.
Try paint cleaning clay bar or a polishing compound. Apply wax on top after you remove it. If neither work, try nail polish remover on a damp cloth and work it in lightly. Just enough to remove the glitter. Last resort see if it can be wheeled out by a body /paint shop.


good luck..............
