Removing Thermal Compound

[Guitarman0]

What would be the best way to remove thermal compound from my CPU? (It is the stuff that comes pre-applied on stock coolers)

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking about using nail polish remover but my only concern is that when I used it to remove a case badge it ended up removing some of the paint on the case :/ are you sure that will be ok on a CPU?

Thanks

Do these look ok?
