Hello John, <br /> <br />If you are looking for a solvent to remove the grease, try "Bestine". <br />It is a great cleaner and will not harm plastics. It evaporates a little quicker than alcohol and should be used with proper ventilation. <br /> <br />Also, you DO NOT want to use "Acetone" as it will melt most plastics!!! <br /> <br />I have used Bestine at work on expensive motion picture cameras for over seven years with no problems. I have been using it on my engines and rolling stock for several years now. You can use it to clean the plastic shells as well. Bestine can be found at most large hardware stores and chains. <br /> <br />Good luck! Chris N.
