Dan,
   I would not use acetone in any vehicle as this can
be very corrosive to plastic and rubber materials.
Alcohols and xylenes work for most cleaning jobs and I
will use acetone on most metals but avoid using
acetone if you are not sure if there is rubber or
certain kinds of plastics.
   I recall burning excess acetone in my 1974 audi
some years back.   It did a number on my fuel pump.

Subject: More on Acetone

I was talking with my brother regarding the acetone
discussion on this
list.  He said that he had heard about it and sent me
some links to
more information.  Just thought I would pass those
links along...

For anyone who would like to have more info on the
subject:
