The stuff got spread around and smudged the control panel and made it look like crap. A quick dab of non-acetone nail polished did nothing except maybe to promise to ruin the plastic finish (and goo gone did little as well) ... so after reading on HowToCleanStuff and e-how, I used this method for complete removal. Use Turkish towels to wipe with rubbing alcohol and then generously apply straight baby oil. Let go for awhile, like overnight. Repeat the process until the stuff if dissolved.

It WILL probably kill you! I was simply referring to it being a solvent for superglue. Margarine, on the other hand....ingest it all you want.

I'm not sure how kerosene interacts with plastics, but beings that it is a petroleum distillate, I would stay clear. Margarine, on the other hand should be safe, but may take longer to work.
