didn't think about if it was bad for the silicone but a quick spray with brake cleaner and wipe with cloth and they were like new

Try petrol, but here's a tip; make sure the engine is running when you do it to get the leads nice and hot and use plenty of petrol

wd40, leave to soak, then lemon/citrus kitchen wipes or similar. Wd40 loosens a lot and the citrus element breaks down dirt well.
