I would worry about acetone. It might soften and remove lacquer-- if that's what is there.

Four types of solvent can remove almost anything you might want to handle:

Water
Paint thinner
Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
Acetone

Each dissolves different things; they're not interchangeable.

It's always a good idea to try the solvent on an inconspicuous area first, but none of the above should harm the enamel on a lens.

None leave a residue on their own. WD-40 or similar products have a solvent component, but that component is also designed as a carrier for another product, namely oil, that will leave a residue. Sometimes that's desirable, but usually not.
