And why not petrol ?

Petrol can remove the guck, but might cause corrosion on the surface. IPA is easily available. Doctors spirit is the street name. Easier to get and safely store.

Got 100ml bottle of acetone to remove the TIM. Couldn't find iso-propyl alcohol.
Working good.

Acetone can be little harsher than ISA...imho
Faun is harsh too.
So, who is the harshest:- IPA, Acetone or Faun? 
Depends what is being cleaned.
Never use Acetone for cleaning plastic. Otherwise it is as good as Isopropyl alcohol.
Acetone: harsher on skin, plastic and organic compounds.
Used Q tips for cleaning.

Its Best cleaning agent for Electronic Items ... I use IPA only ... Acetone is too harsh .... Petrol leaves smell .... Benzene is also gud ... But it also leaves smell ... CAUTION : Do not use IPA indiscriminately ... Vapours are Extremely TOXIC ... Do not spray .. Just dip Q swabs in it and use the Q swabs to wipe the TIM off the Heatsink and proccy ...

^only if it's pure acetone. Additives will spoil the surface after cleaning.

^^ If acetone falls on other parts of mobo which are coloured .. It will dissolve the color also ... IPA is safe ... Try geting it from some hardware industry guy u know .. They use it alot .... It is used as solvent ....
