Dissolving or clumping/bond weakening, it all doesn't matter if the solvent also ruins the paint along with removing the goo.
Stick to mineral spirits AKA "low odor paint thinner" used in oil based house paint. The only thing it'll affect is the wax on the frame by making the area a touch dull at most which can then be re-waxed to shine it up afterwards.
