    Basic chemistry is that "like dissolves like." So maybe another oil and a soft toothbush.

            Why not just wipe it off?

              easiest and least likely to cause any damage: rubbing alcohol.

              91% works best.

              as for wiping it off.. I understand exactly what he means.
              Sometimes a zinc badge sort of becomes porous and will absorb the petroleum jelly, causing it to become significantly darkened.

              I use it to degrease items before applying renaissance wax.
              good luck!
