I was under the assumption that using nail polish remover was bad because it leaves a residue behind. Use some alcohol wipes ore 90% isopropyl alcohol and coffee filters. The proper way to apply TIM on a quad is a line going across the cores. Look it up though because i dont remember which direction the cores run.
