I would stress light pressure and keep the cloth wet. As soon as you've removed the white, wash the area with Dawn dish soap to neutralize the acetone and that's it. Also, don't use the wife's nail polish remover, go to the auto parts store and get the good stuff. I'd start with the small lettering on the inside of the fork just in case.

Alloy and carbon are completely different. Don't use acetone on carbon
