TJ, as has been mentioned, a little soap and a damp cloth should take it off. The long-term solution that I found to the problem of greasy components was to stop eating kolbasa with my fingers.

You know i've always liked the idea of a swiffer duster, until i actually got one and unlike the commercial, when i shake mine, millions of little dust partilcles go flying about.
I really beliieve that is another case of borderline adverstising fraud.
Nothing beats the age old damp cloth.

We hated the swiffer broom/mop thing, but the pads work remarkably well for dusting (just don't shake them!)

Yes yes, they work great for dog hair on the hard wood flooring, but shaking them? That's obviously a no no.
I used one on my monitor yesterday, for the first and last time.
How useless was that?
It left more dust than it picked up, yet on the countertop of my desk, overall, it did a reasonable job.
Darn static.

i use Hoppe's gun cleaning products. they offer both a heavy gun oil, for the intense cleanings or storage purposes. and they have a lighter gun cleaner that is good for quick wipe-downs.
i have NO idea how they would work if used on the face of your stereo equip? thats an experiement i would not be willing to try. the gun cleaning solvents are designed to break up and remove oil and carbon deposits, but they might be too intense for the types of metal that component faces are made of.. i think there would be a great risk of permanent discoloration. so, i think the other ideas of a damp cloth and mild soap, might be a better option.
if you do decide to try and use one of the cleaning oils, then try using on the side panel first, that way if it does affect the metal, it cant be seen.

Sunlight dish soap for greasy marks (just a bit goes a long LONG way on a damp rag... just tap a damp rag against the crust on the top of the spout)... and for less greasy marks and for display screens, I use the same glasses cleaning solution I use on my glasses. If it's safe for the Nikon lenswear coated specs that sit on my face all day, it should be fine for any plastic surface... (spray on the cloth, not the equipment, don't want it running behind)
