I would try anhydrous isopropanol to rinse off wd40. Do it in a few test
spots first because there are a few plastics which can be crazed by ipa
(acrylic is the only one I know off-hand) I believe that the main solvent
used in wd40 is n-hexane (also called just hexane - the lower case n stands
for normal as opposed to the several isohexanes). You can definitely get
hexane cheaply in quantity but I am not so sure about compatibility with
plastics.
