Re: Nail polish on leather seat: Help!

different types of cleaners, I recently tried wolfgang's leather cleaner and that seemed to make a dent, so to speak, in removing it. I didn't get a chance to really agitate the area though to see if it would completly come off.

Re: Nail polish on leather seat: Help!

As promised, here's my updated post from my nail polish on leather adventure:

Well, after reading, searching, hesitation, and what not, I decided to head over to Walgreens, and take a look at some "Acetone-free Nail Polish Remover" so I've read the ingredients, and I realized it had alcohol, so good, don't need to buy alcohol

Anyway, long story short, I bought some Acetone-Free NP and this stuff worked absolutely like magic. No leather discoloration, or damage to the texture on the leather. I used some q-tips to apply, and a mf towel to gently scrub. After I realized that scrubbing was safe, I was able to finish the leather back to its original condition
One thing I did also, was to use a little bit of white vinegar in-between applications just in case. Vinegar is a great neutrilizer and cleaner on its on right, but not strong enough to have removed the NP stain

I'm kicking myself for not taking my camera with me, as this was a great opportunity for people to see

One thing I'd like to point out: use a white (non-colored) towel to apply. Ask me how I know
I was using an already seasoned green towel (clean) and the NP remover made it bleed a little bit, and left a tiny green shade on the seat. No problem, though. I grabbed a white towel with some NP remover and it cleaned it right out
Thanks for looking...
