Dishwashing soap, then alcohol.
You can use aceton, but it's stinky, will give you a headache, and in a hot weather it evaporates so quickly that doesn't do anything.
Rub it thoroughly on every stage - with soapy water and with alcohol. The goal is to remove whitish powdery residue of oxidized paint. The paint is deteriorating with time, turns into a powder, so you need to remove it. The surface should look smoother and shinier than before. Don't overdo it, stop when you start seeing black spiderweb cracks - this is a black rubber shows under the white paint.
