Take a GOOD flashlight , with the bike COLD ,so you dont stick your face or hands to it ,look for the cleanest spot you can find (like brand new , oil is a great solvent)
Most times it works.

PS For the baby powder trick ,
Ask a lady friend to pick you up a can of powder dry spray anti-perspirant. (It makes your bike smell good too)
