How do you remove nail polish from a car's dashboard?
My daughter loves painting her nails and often does so in the car. Yesterday, she spilled a bunch of nail polish on the dashboard when I went over a bump—and long story short, Blue Daydream is now splashed all over my dashboard. How can I remove nail polish from the dashboard of my car?

- Rub in a circular motion, noting that this might take several minutes to take effect
- Wipe away with soapy water
If that doesn’t work, you might have to work with something stronger. Acrylic lacquer or acetone will likely work, but you should test a small, non-visible area first. That way, you can make sure not to discolor the dashboard, since that can lower the
