The wonders of fingernail polish remover

My car has gotten a new makeover. I’ve been walking through junkyards, looking for CRXs, stumbling through mud puddles.

And it’s amazing what fingernail polish remover can do for a car previously held together with duck tape. I removed all the duck tape residue with fingernail polish.

This was of course, after replacing the back light panel that’s been smashed since November. I got an excellent deal for that one. Granted, I had to drive all the way down to Chehalis.

Then, I bolted my front light back in, since it was hanging off and taped up with duck tape after the latest car hit me.

And the fingernail polish remover worked wonders. There I was, rubbing off the tape sticky stuff with polish on a Q-tip.

Then, to my amazement, it removed the bad spray paint job on the back bumper. I had attempted to cover up the yellow paint from the taxi cab a month ago. Grey paint dried in drip lines, and did not match the original bumper.

So, finger nail polish removes some serious stuff. Now, that is a scary thought – that we women use that on our nails.

Oh! I can’t leave out: I bought a new “wing” for the back of my car and a new “H” emblem that was missing. These I found at a great junk yard in Lacey. I also glued back in the window lining that was, yes you guessed it – held up with duck tape.

So now it looks sporty and just like when I bought it five years ago. Well, almost.

Now I just have to go buy some more finger nail polish remover.
