I use a solution of dawn dishwashing and water liquid and then isopropanol. Apply lightly with a q tip. The dry with a blow dryer...from a good distance.

Yep, but I'd check the label for ingredients. Normally its just a higher concentration of distilled water, but I'd double-check if there's any other additives that might leave residual traces. I typically use Goo-Gone, 97% Isopropyl/3% dist. water or acetone and then finish with distilled water.
