A guide on what not to use on what is just as valuable too, I'd say.
I've got a big thing against the use of cleaning products with silicone in them, because the silicone 'creeps' far beyond the surface you spread it on & I think it must compromise the quality of connections.
Yes that's important. I have a table of solvents placed in order of increasing strength. I would advise using nothing stronger than IPA or meths.

Must confess I'm a bit of a slob and do use a dilute mixture of warm water and washing-up liquid to clean equipment. Sometimes I will do the same when washing the car. Learning a lot at the moment, from people's posts on various detergents.

Do you have anything to add to André's notes on Teak, or any other wood for that matter? This is especially important for the refurbishment of speaker cabinets. I would also like to know what can be done about disguising those areas of veneered wood, where a small piece of veneer has chipped or flaked off. Any advice?
