Best cleaner for plug wires?

I have a set of yellow Accel plug wires and they are kinda greasy grimy, so I wanted to clean 'em up. What do people suggest?

I spray simple green on a rag and wipe them down.

I have found that cheap hand cleaner (GOJO) works best for cleaning plug wires.

I use silicon-based lubricant sprat (just 'cause it's fairly dielectric). Call me ****..

I 2nd the GOJO idea. I use orange GOJO on a rag and run it back and forth a few times. Good as new.

I use a product called "Spray Nine", hands down the best cleaner/degreaser there is. In the fleet maintenance shop that works on our buses, this is what they use and it is better than anything I have seen out there.
