Default Carbon cleaning?

Whats the best stuff to clean some carbon parts? I dont want to use anything too harsh to tarnish the shiny shiny but something just enough to remove grease? Would simple fairy-up do?

Cheers

The adhesive is epoxy I believe. WD40 should do it.

Epoxy is tough stuff, so long as you don't use anything with acetone in you should be fine

Or paraffin, which is cheaper than WD40.
