Rick Dale demonstrated by wiping his finger on his forehead and  erasing grease pencil marking from a piece of painted metal. It came off without any smearing. Would there be a product comparable to "skin oil"? Will it work on a disc? Soapy water will create a greasy mess. Solvents will probably damage the disc.
