I could be wrong, but I suspect you'll find that the active ingredient in fingernail polish remover is acetone, not isopropyl alcohol. Very different solvents.... Fingernail Polish remover works great on skin, and the stuff is basically diluted alcohol. ...
I've always used a damp paper towel, no alcohol or cleaners of any kind. It seems to work for me since most of what I'm removing is just simple dust anyways, no need for more. Unless of course you're trying to remove the paint that scenic designer stupidly got all over the fixture when they decided to use a pesticide sprayer to create texture on the walls...
S4 ERS Manual said:"Isopropyl alcohol, distilled water, or a 50%-50% mixture of each can be used to clean the glass surface."
Just a funny little story...
I was contracted by the New Jersey Shakespeare Company to do maintainence on their lighting inventory. There were about 80 Altman 360Q's in the batch of gear that needed new shutters, re-wiring, etc. As a part of the job we obviously had to clean the lenses.
My shop at the time was in a pole barn on my property so I brought the lenses into the kitchen of the house and proceeded to load them into the dish washer. My wife remarked, "Won't the heat of the washer cause them to crack?"
Still makes me laugh 25 years later...
