This is just another way to use the alcohol. I cut strips of old tee shirts and dip them in either denatured alcohol (hardware store) or 90% alcohol from Walmart. You can just wrap the strip, dipped in alcohol, around areas to be cleaned and pull it back and forth. Be careful and don't get it on the paint. Kerosene will work well, too, but it's slower and doesn't hurt the paint. I buy unscented lamp oil from Walmart. It doesn't say Kerosene, but it is.
