Lighter fluid (naptha) is great for this; and unlike WD-40, lighter fluid evaporates quickly without leaving significant residue. Lighter fluid also does an excellent job at dissolving old gummed-up lubricants in small motors and mechanisms. It does, however, attack *some* types of plastic, so you have to be careful.
