I use beauty sponges splashed with acetone, it's the fastest way I can think of. You have to take lots of quick swipes then rinse the acetone before it eats the plastic. It takes practice, but it works.

Also, you don't have to completely remove every little bit of paint if you're just going to primer or paint the area again, just get most of it off.
