Hi Richard,

That's a pretty neat looking case, I haven't seen one before -- but am familiar with that type material. I agree with codefox on the alcohol. But, if that doesn't work, I would personally use mineral spirits and a medium bristled brush. Of course, try on an inconspicuous spot first, but this is what I use in most cases on similary projects. I find the brush will more thoroughly and safely clean the textured surface than anything that rubs across the peaks of that textured surface. Anyway, just my .02 worth. Hope that helps.

Joe
