Subject: IPA and acetone

I found an interesting discussion on cleaning with IPA and acetone:

http://www.eng-tips.com/gviewthread.cfm/pid/31/qid/85540

The last post says that: "IPA will still leave a residue" and that is
what I had in mind. How much of that film affects out TT methods is
another story but the fact is that it leaves film ie 'smears'.
Like I said, I clean only with the abrasive pad (was it 3M?) and
detergent.

Is there something stronger than acetone to remove laminated toner?
This is because the laminator embeds the toner like an enamel.
