I noticed that you were cleaning an aluminum electrolytic capacitor at the time.

Do you have Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish available in NZ? That stuff is great for cleaning and polishing aluminum parts such as old aluminum electrolytics. Mind you, though, it will also remove anything printed on the can! Icon_eek
