Safest way to get styrofoam residue off carbon arrows?

Built me a new target range. I used a big block of dock float styrofoam. Works great, but leaves a bad residue on the arrows?

LIGHTLY...use a scotch-brite pad.
Then before shooting them again, get a bar of soap, like the crap you get at cheap hotels and rub it along the portion of the arrow the foam ends up on.

acetone melts foam very fast, you could try using nail polish remover it isn't as concentrated. you might could use Isopropanol alcohol as well

I've used denatured alcohol on a rag. Not sure if it affects the integrity of the carbon arrow, but it worked.

It will also take all the goofy graphics off the shaft (which is a good thing)
