ISTR brake fluid will pretty much remove *anything*.

I wonder if modern paint finishes are as susceptible as the older 1980s
paints ?


I don't want to damage the plastic or remove the legends (volume, select
etc), just the gunge. Alcohol is quite good but needs a fair but of
rubbing in some areas- I suspect where the finish hasn't deteriorated. I
could removed the innards and soak the case but I'm concerned the
display may be a s*d to get back together.
