Hmm, damn the girlfriend. Just kidding.

Has the car been parked under the sun? If so the Powerade would definitely be a challenge to wipe off, but I'm sure there's still a possibility. I would try a damp cloth first, and if that doesn't suffice I would visit an auto store and buy me a recommended degreaser/cleaner.

whoa... no. dont' get a degreaser. that is way too strong for a dash. first get yourself some soapy water and a 2 clean towels. first put one towel in the soapy water and make sure its not dripping wet so it won't fall all over your car. but make sure its just a little wet. then wipe in straight motions and not circles. after cleaning a small area; dry it off with the other dry towel ( Oh and before i forget, try to use microfiber towels for all this. they are the best ) then keep repeating that until its not that sticky. if you feel like it left a stain then get Meguiars Quick interior detail and spray all over where its fine. make sure you use a different clean microfiber towel. whats good about this product is that is cleans very well and it does not leave your dash super shiny/greasy and does not make it slippery. bad thing is that the scent isn't that great. but just leave your windows open for 30 minutes and you should be fine. i have the product and its not like the smell will knock you out, its just not pleasant. good luck taking it off!
