Why try using IPA when Brake Cleaner does the job.
Keep the IPA for wiping down surface before painting/spraying. It’s perfect for that. It is also very good for cleaning traffic film/wax from windscreens.

Not quite so much now but in the early days of Covid distancing and lockdowns stuff was being 'issued' to us in large quantities and you almost had to justify yourself if you declined an 'issue'. So yep I've got hand sanitiser in my car, the wife's car, the bumbag I use when cycling, in several forgotten jacket pockets etc and enough nitrile gloves in the garage to keep me fixing the car for a couple of years.
