to finish something quickly and easily, especially a lot of food or work:
He polished off the whole pie.
I polished off three essays in one week.
(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)
If Dad wants to polish off the duck sauce in a Chinese restaurant like it’s a bowl of soup, why not? If Grandma wants to help out by washing the dishes but makes a mess of it, leave her to it and just rewash them later when she’s not looking.
