Does anyone know what liquid is in the VHS Head Cleaner kit?

I've heard that it is alcohol, or mostly alcohol. Which is it? and is that rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl)?

    Yes, it is mostly alcohol, and may be either denatured or isopropyl.

    The minimum purity of the alcohol used should be

    95% for denatured and 91% for isopropyl,

    and for either of these, the higher the number, the better.

    The best you'll be able to find is 99%.

    Don't ever use 70% ("rubbing") alcohol!

    It contains far too much water, and sometimes

    also has other undesirable ingredients.
