Default Re: Cleaning a filthy/greasy amp chassis

Paraffin will leave a deposit unless you clean it off carefully. That may or may not be a problem. Personally I use ordinary white spirit / turps substitute for these jobs, but you still need to clean carefully afterwards.

More volatile petrochemicals like lighter fluid or ordinary petrol also work well, but need to be used with great care given the fire risk.
