Dude why are you using lighter fluid O.O! use a tissue or a cloth if you want, but using alchahol and lighter fluid and crap - why? it's so pointless

You are ok with any solvents, they will just evaporate. I prefer using nail varnish remover myself.

Isopropyl alcohol is the way to go, lighter fluid contains grease / fat.

You can always go to the gas station and get a bottle of condensation remover, they have a contents of isopropyl
