We used many solvents in the lab for a variety of processes at 3M and I
would be very careful about cleaning with acetone. It removes very few oils,
including landing gear hydraulic oil, engine oil, even fingerprint oil
(really - try it), etc. Each item you clean should be carefully checked to
make sure it has no insoluble contaminates on the surface, which is
difficult to do.

MC and MEK both are far more effective at cleaning and remove a broad
spectrum of oils, etc. Boeing uses MEK last I heard. Since you are likely to
be doing epoxy work afterwards anyway you'll need good ventilation either
way.
