Might want to test that alchohol on something besides a plug that is done with the same paints first. Tried the alchohol on createx once and it started removing the paint.

Rubbing alcohol will take paint off alot of surfaces. Try it on your plastic dashboard. Ask me how I know

I soak the rag with isoprople alchohol, then I let it almost dry. I ONLY wipe the plug with a "damp" cloth. Then I only wipe it once!
Works for me!

Don't touch them!! , actually the best way to remove fingerprints is to thoroughly wash your hands prior to touching the plugs.
