Nah, stay away from compressed air, paint brushes and the other stuff. The good 
stuff to use is freon. Good 'ole R12. It will not only clean the dust off, but 
will dissolve any oily residue as well! I have a 30 pound canister in my garage 
that I use to perform A/C service. Works great...

Good luck finding it though..

better place if nathan got some form of cancer? I thought so....
