Harry and Dennis,
I used to use isopropyl alcohol for dirty/oily aperture elements. It only worked well when I used anhydrous (hard to find), and the dirt and oil were light. Most of my lenses that needed cleaning were like that at the time, so it was fine. When I found a heavier layer of oil on the blades, it didn't work as well as lighter fluid. I can find lighter fluid cheap enough to make it a no-brainer to use now.
