Assuming this is about flux removal.....I've been using mineral 
spirits for over 35 years. Yet to find anything better and I have just 
about all the alcohols (including methanol), acetone, MEK, Xylene, 
lacquer thinner, you name it at my disposal. Solvents that evaporate 
quickly are not the best for oily, sticky deposits. Furthermore, the 
more powerful solvents attack plastic. Even denatured alchol attacks 
plastic depening on the denaturing agent (aka poison) used.
