Well I seriously goofed here! 

Here´s the link to the post: 
http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/tweaks/messages/7/77960.html  
If you search the forum with deoxit as keyword you´ll find several 
mentions about rubbing alcohol, mostly from uneducated, inquiring 
users. Seems like I kept a distorted memory of it all.
I very much know the difference between rubbing and isopropyl alcohol 
(I use the latter with distilled water to clean my vinyl records) 
btw :-) 

Sorry about the mispelling. I wrote naphta as I would in my native 
language.

Anyway, my point being that given the deoxit composition, there will 
be somekind of residue left, right?

Apologies for spreading wrong info and thanks for the clarification.

Paulo.
