I've been using the wrong solvent on composite panels for years

A new guy at the hangar in Tampa asked why I was using acetone, and showed me the manual that specifically says not to. It was for a Cessna 172R composite wingtip repair. What's the best safe cleaner you all use for that kind of work?

Wait, acetone on composite? That's a big no. The manual is right, it can really mess with the resin. I switched to a simple soap and water mix for light cleaning years ago.
