Hi Sellam
It is intended to leave no residue but if there are dyes
in the paper that it dissolves, it may leave rings. You need
to experiment a little. It will also dissolve some plastics
as well so always check first.
It is used to remove oils and old brake fluid from brake parts
in cars. I often use it to degrease parts that need to be extra
clean, such as when cleaning surfaces to epoxy.
