I've always had good luck with (cigarette) lighter fluid, the kind you'd use 
in a Zippo lighter.  It's much less dangerous than gasoline (though still 
flammable), effective as a solvent, and leaves little or no residue.  I have not 
experienced any plastic damage--so far--but I've only been using it for 20 
years.  The fluid is cheap and available at almost any supermarket.
