majorloser Moderator Aug 7, 2005 7,071 0 113 Florida aka: Hurricane Central Sep 26, 2005 #3 If you have oily spots, you might try 90% isopropyl alcohol. Should not damage plastic but dries very fast. Try it in a very small spot in the corner first with the tip of a Q-tip just to be safe. Alcohol is a strong solvent. Don't use Fantastic or window cleaner as ammonia can haze plastic or turn them yellow.
