Of all the solvents I have personally used, MEK is the most powerful 
in terms of being able to dissolve anything. Because of that, it has 
little application in electronics. Good for cleaning metal parts; 
when you're done, the only thing left will be the metal. :-)

Another powerful solvent with similar characteristics is methylene 
chloride, commonly used in paint remover. Again, not very useful for 
electronics.
