Vinyl is vinyl. It's different colors because of the dye used in it. Black vinyl uses Carbon Black. Other colors use other dye material.

Rubbing alcohol usually has other stuff mixed in it. So, it's not really a good idea to use it. Both Isopropyl and Grain alcohol are better. Isopropyl is available at drug stores (chemists). You know where grain is available.

Also, leftover grain works well mixed with Orange or Tomato Juice. :mrgreen:

I usually use IPA solution diluted with pure water and a drop of wetting agent. You can always run under a warm water tap (Warm not hot) then clean with cleaning solution. If you want my brew, let me know.
