Forget all those nasty strong solvents that are going to damage the finish if they get in the wrong place, and they just tend to make it stickier and spread it around more.
I have found Swarfega easily removes the black rubber which has turned to goo.
I did not believe it either when I first heard this, but it works a treat.
