I've just desoldered 30 caps from a board and as you can see the wick (Goot brand) has left me with quite a mess to clean up.
Tried IPA + toothbrush which didn't help at all in removal, but did for some reason change the flux into a gunky, chewing-gum like substance (see middle of photo). Would it be worth trying something such as Servisol PCB Cleaner? I'd really like to get the area nice and clean before soldering the new capacitors, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
