I never had any situations where the cleaner affected the surrounding support structure or the other parts around it. Some of the older vintage radio gear I have restored had some very sensitive plastic and other parts that I would not touch with anything but this cleaner. It evaporates very quickly and removes oxidization with no need to scrub or wipe unless it was heavily coated with a preservative that some of the military gear came packed / coated with called _Cosmoline_ that would require some wiping and elbow grease. I was introduced to the cleaner by a good long time friend that runs a commercial radio shop and swore by it. Hope this helps some. stew ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vick Ko" To:"Leica Users Group" , "Internet Directory of Camera Collectors" Cc: Sent:Thu, 13 Jan 2011 08:16:36 -0500 Subject:[Leica] To those that repair, is naptha (lighter fluid) the same as electronics cleaning solvent? To those that repair, is naptha (lighter fluid) the same as electronics cleaning solvent? Or, will it work the same? Vick
