Hi, Can some of you please post what is best to clean the projector rollers(metal) & track with.
I took a look at a film that I think has a touch of VS, and would like to clean it before running other film through it.

Alcohol? mild soap and water? New to this, any input would be great, thanks.

I generally use alcohol so long as no rubber parts come into contact with it. Soap and water is too mild to dissolve buildup, plus it could leave residue.
