How Do You Remove Anti-Seize Grease from a Lower? [Archive]

Well, there I was, just completed assembling my barrel to my upper, when I saw a small blob of anti-seize peeking out from the barrel nut. So I go to remove it and bump against the rifle, flicking the silver anti-seize onto my lower. I wiped away what I could, but there's still a silver smudge left behind.

Not that it's a big deal, but I'd like to get rid of the reminder of my clumsiness. :( I can't think of anything that will remove it. If anyone can suggest some way of eliminating the smudge, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Carb or brake cleaner should do the trick..

Thanks.

I'm going to try the acetone, since I have plenty of that which I never use. In the meantime, I tried one of those white, tube-type, pencil erasers, and that removed most of it. The only problem is it won't reach into corners, so the acetone on a rag should take care of that.
