I have the advantage (?) of working with vets so we use a lot of ether. Anything that evaporates quickly and de-greases can be used. Just be sure it doesn't conflict with the wheel. The ether thing works very well with an over rosined wheel too. What you get after use is a clean (and I mean CLEAN) wheel. You will have to rosin a lot afterwards.

Would industrial spirit (also known as surgical spirit) do instead? That works to dissolve French polish. I haven't got to that stage yet but, as a novice, will, no doubt, end up with greasy spots (fumbling with cotton) and excess rosin soon.
