go to a craft store and get some small bottles of paint and small brushes, ask the store person if it will hold up on plastic, you can touch it up and as dave said wax over it. always test stuff in an out of the way area before you use it

STRANGELY RARE!!
Take a look at this, it was as I suspected on the first picture, the E and R as well as the flower graphic is BACKWARDS!! You have a rare treat as this machine missed quality control.
I would keep it forever, and in fact I would not do ANYTHING else to the front of that thing, to me that error makes it incredibly valuable.
On another note I may have a front for that thing let me check

Good one, Dennis. LOL
Um, all of Kirby16's pictures are reversed mirror images as shown by the lettering on that jacket on the stand, if the backside shot with the hose coming out the 'wrong' side wasn't clue enough.
What the heck kinda bassackwards cellphone camera are ya using there?
Retail Nail Polish Remover is a blend of pure Acetone and light oil formulated to not damage human tissue while stripping the enamel from the nails. It should not be anywhere near a precious vacuum as it can spot and blister the paint on the metal base - like Industrial Polystrippa - Yikes! Acetone evaporates quickly and is another solvent that will melt styrene plastics. Obviously the DAM's vinyl-ized shell is not being affected. It is unlikely that polish remover would have any effect other than making a mess much messy-er.
Since the "goop off" your Dad used did the dissolving of the lettering in the first place that's the same stuff you use to clean up the smearing. But do it right...lay the machine face up on a table on a towel to avoid running drips. Sit in a chair under a bright light. After wiping away the surface smear, use toothpicks and Q-tips dipped in "goop off" to detail clean in and around the textured bumps.
