Just use something that easily wipes off. LEON.

My only problem with it is when it's used on worn embossing, in that case it can be hard to clean off entirely once it gets into the tiny cracks.

I know it is done to enhance the embossing. I don't do it but have bought ones that were. I cleaned it off with acetone and a brass detail brush. Like Canadianbottles said the pits in the embossing just refuses to let the paint go. I cleaned a limecola 3 times only to still be able to still see the paint!

It's probably just paint or enamel/nail polish and will come off easily with some isopropyl rubbing alcohol or some nail polish remover if you'd rather not have it on the bottles.
