Thanks for the info and reference. For the GigE I sprayed WD-40 on a paper towel and rubbed the smudge away. Then used the dry area of the towel to wipe the area for a finish clean-up. There were many large black areas on the Apple side of the case. The oil residue, if any is left, is not noticeable.
