Goo off, lighter fluid, Purple Power! Any of these should work.

if it got nail polish, why dont you use nail polish remover..just make sure you wipe it clean with water, but in the other can that might stain the console.. cant you scrape it off?

Yeah im not sure dont worry i wasnt driving and painting hell it was'nt even me I bought it w/ it on it. I dont think i can scrape it off but i will try nail polish remover and simple green. Heres the weird thing tho they didnt get it off when they cleaned the vehicle up to be sold so i was thinking it may be hard to remove idk i'll try a few different things

Try the nail polish remover on the vinyl some place you wont see first. It may melt the vinyl.
