Gels

How do I get hair gel off plastic glasses?

I have a pair of dark plastic glasses. I use very strong hair gel...almost like glue, and it always rubs on to my plastic frames. The lenses are fine, but the frames have a white glueish film on them. The only way I've been able to get it off is by scraping. I don't want to continue because it will ruin the frames and there will be a ton of uneven scrapes on it. I tried rubbing it down with rubbing alcohol and Dial hand soap. After using the dial, it seemed like I made it worse...as if I rubbed the soap in or something. I can't seem to find a liquid to help remove it. What's my best way to get rid of it? I read that using vinegar is not good on plastic frames. I was thinking about getting the finest piece of sandpaper I can find (about 1000) and just sanding it off very carefully. Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance!

1. If the gel washes out of your hair with shampoo, have you tried using your shampoo on the plastic?
2. Goo-gone and a papertowel. I'm pretty sure most grocery stores carry it, you will be suprised at how many other household messes it'll clean-up.
3. try windex it works for me
4. dawn dish washing liquid....
