I used 91% IPA for years. After I read this article, I switched to mineral spirits. If there is thick crud, I scrape first with a knife or screwdriver, like Dave does.

Lehigh74,

I can't thank you enough for this article. I read it last March when you posted it, but this week I've been back to cleaning wheels and re-read it. Then went to the comments and for there found many related threads. The discussions on Model Railroad Hobbyist are the best I've seen on this topic.

There is currently, a similar, ongoing thread on OGF:
