Try a product called Spot Shot, made as a carpet
cleaner, aerosol, blue can
with orange lid. I know Wal-Mart and Sams Club carry it. We use it as a
last resort when Goo Gone does not remove the glop or magic marker. A very
small squirt goes a long way! Removes magic marker, melted rubber goo from
old rubber feet, etc. If the surface to clean is plastic, spray on the rag,
and not directly on the surface. Does not harm aluminum or steel, or ABS
plastic like monitor housings. It WILL melt the plastic on old dial-up
telephones. You can also use MEK, still available at the stores here, but be
sure you are well-vented if you do. Another one that works is lighter
fluid, but it will harm some plastics.
Well, I know what I'd try if I could get some--carbon tet or even freon
TF. Both used to be as common as dirt and now nearly unobtainium unless
you're a commercial airline mechanic or analytical chemist.
You don't happen to have any of either rattling around in that
warehouse, do you?
