I usually wash the parts with hot water and few drops of dishes detergent, then
dry them with a clean rag and rub them with acetone . This works nicely even to
remove the fingers traces, glue and all other unwanted stuffs before
painting.(I do hope ACETONE is still available from your DIY store or your
local paint dealer). But if you use acetone please operate in a well ventilated
area or outdoor and don't smoke !!!!
