[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 190756, member: 3972"] Denatured alcohol is great for cleaning...like just before you paint. It will remove light oil film, soften and remove waxy...wax and stuff...and silicone based "dirt". Cleans up water soluble "dirt". It will mix with and displace...evaporate water. Denatured evaporates and disappears very quickly...leaves virtually nothing behind to interfere with paint. But it leaves nothing behind to protect bare metal either...rust is SURE to follow unless you do SOMETHING, to prevent it...like, paint the part. I've pretty much decided that laquer thinner is mostly unnecessary for cleaning...it's kind of a inbetweener. Doesn't cut oily grime very well. Not really hot enough to remove the tough stuff. Too dirty to use for paint prep. Stinky and bad to breathe. Evaporates and disappears on you. Good for thinning laquer I spose. [/QUOTE]
