high percent rubbing alcohol with gloves and a shammy (non french spelling) like something soft you would use to clean glasses or lcd tv clean it well than let it dry.

Ya Vinegar, Windex. Just not soap. Soap will leave a residue.

If you know a mechanic or electrician, brade kleen or contact cleaner. These are degreasers which do not leave a residue behind. Just use it outside, as the liquids evaporate really fast, and are flammable.
