RE: Tape Deck Cleaner. What is tried and true?

Don't use alcohol on rubber parts (pinch rollers) and be careful not to flood it onto any spinning guide since they will often be bearings and washing the lubricant out of the race will ruin them.
I use 409 or just plain water on the rubber parts and clean the rolling guides at the end of my cleaning so the q-tip is almost dry.
