Specifically, looking for something to dry off the IPA without leaving a lot of lint or cotton hairs.
I read through some of the old posts here, and I keep seeing Kim Wipes being mentioned, I looked it up on Amazon and there's a bunch of varieties.
(I've never even heard of a Kim Wipe, is it like a "Dude Wipe"? Those are awesome btw, don't ask my how I know....)
Which Kim wipe do I want?
Right now my process is before pots (and that means before any trim pots as well, found out the hard way) and everything else is populated I do my main cleaning.
Which consists of a small plastic Tupperware with 1/4" of 91% IPA. I dunk the board swish it around, then scrub with an antistatic brush, swish some more, brush some more and final swish.
The problem is that if it air dries it leaves spots, which bugs the heck out of me. So I use old t-shirts rags and Q-tips to clean between rows of solder joints and clean between components up top.
