I also have and tried the very high analytical grades of isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol) at work and the diggers version does exactly the same job. Will not affect UHTC coatings on meade optics. Low grades will have impurties such as 1-propanol and water left from production.

Tks Mark, good ol Bunnings.
I have been using the Bintel fluid and its OK, but I still used pure Iso that I had from an Orion optic cleaning kit and this does the job superb but I ran out last time I cleaned my corrector. BTW the Meade site recommends at least 90% or better Iso so diggers at 100% makes me feel better. I will pick up some next time I am at Bunnings.
Here's the link if anyones interested.
