Nail Polish remover doesn't dry greasy. It dries like alcohol.

What would be the best way of cleaning the plastic....alcohol and a match disinfects well :P

So is there an easy way to determine what will be removed by nail polish, and what will remain? Will it take off everything but the base plastic?

Re: DAK's Customizing Discussion Thread
 
all paint will be removed, along with the gloss coat. what would be left behind is the plastic. It will not remove the color from plastic.
