I used to love "trike" for de-fluxing solder joints. It worked extremely well,
in small quantities. The stuff that's available now is nowhere near as
effective, and you end up using three or four times as much.

Bob,
NASA used Trichloroethylene on the F-1 and they apparently thought it
worked pretty well. I doubt you would be able to find any in a pure
form
since it is a hazardous substance, but you can find some products that
have
it in them at the following links:

I also found a substitute here:
