great stuff
if you read above...
Methylated spirits ("Metho") can be used to clean cars too, but
it usually has some water dissolved in it. When the alcohol dries,
it leaves the water behind... so your stuff is damp. Don't use it
on electronics!
i think having water left behind on electronics isn't a good idea..plus it might cause rust..
