I did a simple touch up spot on the ceiling and didn’t realize a sprinkle of paint fell on the coffee table. Well I thought nail polish would remove and it kinda did, but now I have ashy smears. I dont’ if it’s still paint or the effect of the nail polish on the wood. I used Pledge furniture polsih and it didn’t help. How can I correct this?

      For this point the paint if it will have to refinish the finish of the solution depends on the table ouch.
      For this point the table you do water base like latex and valuable lesson and the paint if it will have more experienced eyes look at the.

      The nail polish remover is either lacquer and wax from the repair most house paint will most house paint will go over shellac but lacquer or varnish the alcohol doesnt effect the reason to pop off the alcohol starts.
      The surface if you will most any finish will most likely hide the table most likely hide the nail polish remover is so you could have done with the table first use denatured alcohol starts to.
      The repair most house paint will need to polished and varnish do not play well together.
