that only works so well, i wonder if MEK (Methyl-Ethyl Ketone) would work without damaging the plastic

My experience with MEK is it " softens " the plastic. Even if you rub it on with a rag and remove residue immediately. Just not the right product to do the job. Don't really know what will work. Just know that MEK is WAY to strong.
