Solvents used for dissolving fatty (solid) alcohols.

Grain can scratch the reflector. Rice is especially likely to do so,
unless boiled first. I wouldn't particularly recommend rubbing the
lights with boiled rice.

Nein; SCHNAPPS! Drinken der bourbon!!

Well, seriously, plain commercial-grade ethanol. You don't want other
things in it eg sugars, as these will dry on the surfaces and MAKE a
mess. Methanol or isopropyl would do as well. Need not be anything
like 100% to do the job.

DON'T drink this stuff, as it may have nasty mixers in it.
