The RF cylinder is #1 and that wire would normally come off at about 4-4:30, so 
I think you ended up doing the right thing.

It'll wear off. In the meantime, wear it as a badge of honor.

Seriously, strong hand cleaner like Goop or any of the other products made for 
this kind of job really work pretty well. A less well known solution is to just 
pour a teaspoon of CLEAN motor oil in your palm and work it all over both 
hands. Rub it in well and it will mix with the dirt. Wipe it off with a dry 
rag. You can repeat this several times if you like. When you're satisfied, wash 
your hands with regular soap and water.
