how to clean off grease pencil from lead-out area of a record?

I was in a used record store today and, remarkably, they had written the price in grease pencil on the lead-out area of some of their records (on the vinyl). Any idea how to clean this stuff off? It wipes off, but the grease in the grooves remains there. I can't believe the idiocy of this. The guy behind the counter got indignant when I asked how to clean it off. He said if it bothered me maybe I didn't need to buy the records (which, in the end, I didn't). But I might go back if anybody knows a foolproof way to clean the stuff out. Solvent? Thanks.
