I wouldn't use anything harsher than mineral turpentine on plastic surfaces,
and spot test that before hand. Paint thinner disolves many plastics,
acetone does too,  I'll try some: the GP laquer thinner I have diissolves
the disk cases I have. I don't have any nail polish remover here. but
anythinh you can't buy by the litre bottle seems an expensive solution.
