I use Chloro-Kleen which I purchased years ago when it was legal.
Unfortunately it's running out now and I was wondering what all you guys
like...

I use isopropyl for some stuff, and MEK for cleaning flux from boards, but
nothing beat Chloro-Kleen for rubber parts...

I just bought a bottle of Rubber Renue. I haven't tried it yet though. If I
find any wear on rubber parts, I like to replace them. I really have never
found a chemical that can rejuvenate a belt or an idler for any length of
time.


I used it on the rollers of an older printer when they would no longer
grab the paper. It worked like a champ. I've restored a few printers
with it. Haven't tried it on anything else.
