Computer case cleaner works very well - spray it on and let it foam up - live for ten minutes and scrub off - always go carefull on lables as they will come off with even water as they are just a print
The computer clean gets grease off a treat as it soaks in and brakes it down  ;)
wash off all with soapy water

cheers B  ;)
