Just realized my board cleaning method was leaving residue

A client in Austin brought back a repaired amplifier last week, saying it crackled again after a month. They specifically said, 'It looks clean, but it feels sticky under the board.' I was still using 91% isopropyl and cheap wipes. I switched to 99% and lint-free swabs, and the issue vanished. What's your go-to method for a guaranteed no-residue clean on older audio gear?

Wait, you were still using 91% on audio gear? That's the real shocker here.

My uncle still buys premium gas for his 2002 Camry, janab87.

Maybe his Camry just likes the good stuff, @eva_rivera.
