I'm a self taught novice. I have used Electrolube Ultrasolve,from Dick Smiths- it is hard to get. I've used Triflow Rapid Clean. It is very good, plenty of pressure from the can. I get it from pushbike shops or gun dealers. The eaiest to find is Zippo lighter fluid-any tobacconist. With the bearings I like to rinse them then hit em with 100 psi air to spin em then keep repeating this till they spin free. I haven't ruined any paint with this, BUT solvents are more dangerous to YOU than your reel. Take care especially if you are young. Hope this helps Braith
