I usually use lighter fluid for cigarette lighters sold at the checkout counter in WalMart. I've never had much luck cleaning a shutter by just flooding it, but instead usually wind up taking it apart. As Scott pointed out, the most common problem is oil between the shutter blades.
I'm not nearly the repairman that most of the guys in here are though... I collect mainly century old stuff, and compared to the classic 35's, that's like timber framing a barn. If I had to get into the more modern stuff, I might try flooding it first. :-)
