Unhappy Help, can't get it off!!!

I was washing and waxing the Z, and I'm one of those girly girl that wears nail polish!! Anyways, I rubbed one of my nails against the car on accident and now there is this long pink streak on the side!! To make things worse I waxed over it I washed and rubbed but I can't get it off, I'm afraid that nail polish remover will remove more then the nail polish!! Oh what to do, what to do!! Well I know I will never wear nail polish while washing and waxing again!!...........nail polish+ Z= pink streak

Take nail polish and wash your car with it, I heard it cleans the car real well.

First try some rubbing alcohol then try mineral spirits. Wash area right after and apply fresh wax.

Try a light rub with menzerna intensive polish to remove, then another light rub with menzerna final polish. Then wax. Without a polish/remover, you're just waxing over the nail polish. I'm sure other quality polishes will work-I have had such good results with menzerna that I plug it every chance I get.

Yup, Claybar should do the trick. Make sure you get some sort of lube though, god don't try and rub the bar dry across your paint.

Even easier than claybar, you can try rubbing compound. The 3M stuff is cheap, and I'm pretty sure it'll pull the nail polish off with a lot less work than the claybar. You can pick it up at walmart, and it is totally safe for the Z's finish.

i also think you should heat it up slightly and use a clay car. Try vinager also, though im not sure if would help much.
