Acetone is a strong thing, will remove grease and also paint, will damage rubber, so your advice to be careful is absolutely correct. Acetone is also hard on skin so gloves are needed even though I find it difficult to work wearing gloves.
I would take the windows to be cleaned out of the car as both the mentioned remedies are hard on many things in the car, including plastic.
Nail polish remover without acetone could maybe also be used.
