The Contact Cleaner is just an inert gas -- like tetrafluoroethane
(the hydrocarbon acts as both the propellant and the active
ingredient). Useful for cleaning the dust out of confined spaces, but
it's more like blowing air than anything else. It won't clean the
fingerprints off anything.

The chemist's alcohol wipes are fine for what you used them for, they
were probably a 70/30 mix of isopropanol and water like you would find
in a first-aid kit, which basically the 75/25 combination I referred
to in my previous e-mail. But if they contain ethanol, they wouldn't
be suitable for plastics.
