     If you use acetone or thinner it might make a sticky mess with the wires that you will hate.
     First try something less corrosive like vinegar mixed with water to see if it will come off.  I have done this in the past, worked for me.  If not here is a you tube video you might enjoy if nothing else.  It uses "fairy power spray".   ;D
