Polystyrene dissolves easily with acetone. Someone
showed me that
around 10 years ago, when we had a quiet day in the lab. Some new
staff occasionally use acetone to try to clean marks off of balance
doors (the sidebits) and often dissolve the plastic runner so that
the doors no longer smoothly slide open/closed, instead they stick :(
A girl in my lab session proved conclusively that acetone is effective
at dissolving polyester.
