I searched a bit on mr2oc and a little bit on here but could not find any conclusive results as to what to use to clean your AFM.
It started when I took off the air filter to blow it out, and noticed some carbon build-up (black almost oily film) in the AFM and IC piping. I tried wiping out the AFM with a rag, but it didnt do much good. Has anyone ever cleaned theirs out, or is it not worth it? Im under the impression that de-natured alcohol is the best thing to use, and that it is also used to clean circut boards (wont damage the electrical part, if I fully submerge the AFM). Can anyone confirm this and if this IS the best to use, where can I find it. Should I look in a liquor store or a drug store? What about the IC piping/IC, what should I use to clean that out? |
