I've seen an IBM field service tech clean an 1311 pack once (after the drive
blew a gasket and sprayed hydraulic fluid everywhere). He used Kimwipes soaked
in isopropyl alcohol. Since this was in college, I went to the chemistry
department to get high purity (reagent grade) isopropyl alcohol for this job.
A solvent sounds good, but I would avoid "burning spirit" or rubbing alcohol or
other grocery store stuff since it probably has all manner of contaminants in
it, some of which may leave crud on the surface.
