I was too eager and made a mistake when trying to clean a Yashica 124G. I just got it from eBay and there's a little mold in the film compartment. I used rubbing alcohol to try to clean away but it left a residue. The worst part seems to be on the matte finished metals that surround the negative and the rear element of the lens. What's left behind is a imprint of the cleaned area and seems to be shinier than before. Does anyone know how to remove this? Thanks a lot. I am really bummed since the camera is in great shape except the damage that I did to it.
