Seat cleaning question

OK. So my wife decided you touch up her nail polish on the way to a thing we were going to. Of course she dropped the freakin brush in her lap and got nail polish on my passenger seat. I know, I know - we've had the talk about how that **** will never have a chance of happening in the future - and keep in mind that when she found out I bought $600 worth of crap for my car last week all she did was an eye roll.

Anyway-any of you guys with more experience detailing cars have ideas for how to get nail polish out of TC seats? It's not on the suede but on the "mesh" textured stuff forward of that. She thought we could use nail polish remover but I was like "There's no way I'm doing **** until I can ask the guys on the forum."

Spray 9 is some good stuff!! always been a big fan of it. just be sure you scrub the whole seat and not just the one spot lol

Or when you go to 3 ******* stores to find the perfect plate for a cake stand. I almost started a fire. Would have been easier.

That's gutsy! I'd think it would dye the seat a different color... But if you say so, that is a good tip.

Heh-since this thread seems alive again I'll update everyone on the outcome. A couple weeks after this happened but before I got the chance to try and of this stuff I was driving along and looked over at it. I reached over and decided to scratch at it - it flaked right off. So for once-something went well
