Citrisolv?

Also worthy of mention on some cleaning is Bon-Ami. It gives you a nice
cleaening job without tearing up the finish like cleanser does. I use it a
lot lot polishing compound (I use white compound on occasion as well) but
with less force and more for cleaning than actual polishing.

When I worked for Jabil rebuilding Handspring handheld PDA's this last
January they had a orange based solvent remover made by 3M but on plastics
it would haze the finish. Gave you the smell of tangerines in your sinuses
all day too.
