Hi,

I think it all depends upon the pressure you use, I mean it is subjected to a stream of Air above ambient pressure as a matter of course. My tendency would be to use the enclosed straw and hold it some distance away to avoid too high a pressure.

Also, some solvents may work while others can leave residue, or degrade the film, making it worse off than before. I'd be more prone to use an electronic cleaner than Carb cleaner though...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
