I have found that Solvol (with water) removes skull-n-crossbones printing from
pirate bicorns more quickly than a craft knife, with less damage than wet-n-dry
sandpaper and preserves the underlying LEGO better than an ink rubber.

Wouldn't Solvol still be a bit abrasive?

Yes, but that's the point!

I use Brasso. This seems to be the generally accepted method of lego
printing removal, and works a treat. it also leaves a nice shiny
finish, but make sure you give it a good rinse afterwards.

But it smells! And it is abrasive, too. I've used Brasso® to remove the printing
from slopes (among other things)... it happily takes the texture off too.

Cheers
