not gt 85 - it could damage the seals.
Myself if I just rinse themwitha bit of fork oil and wipe clean

Stay clear of GT85, it leaves residue which you do not want in your forks.
Isopropyl alohol is the Tuners cleaner of choice. Never been able to find any anywhere begore though.

I got 5 litres from ebay, should last a while.
@Mugboo - And are they back together yet?

No Si, but they are halfway there. (in lots of pieces!)
How about Co-ops Glen Vodka? Bombay Saphire seems like overkill!

I've used Methylated Spirits before. Can't really comment on how it compares to IPA though.
