Hi Ian,
When I clean the corrector plate on my C8 I use lots of those little papers and what the manual recommended - low pressure strokes from the centre out, do not rub in circles.
It then says one can use commercial cleaning solution, or that a good cleaning solution is isopropyl alcohol (not rubbing alcohol) mixed with distilled water, in a ratio of 60% alcohol and 40% water. Or one can use a couple of drops of liquid dish soap in a quart of water.
I was fortunate to get hold of a big bottle of the proper isopropyl alcohol from the chemical laboratory where I used to work, and use that method - since it has a nice glidey feel to it, and drys up nicely without leaving drying stains.
But I just drag one end of the wet paper across the corrector plate, I don't rub (except very gently on some spots).
Regards,
Renato
