I did some further reading yesterday and an ultra-sonic dip tank seems to be the recommendation, using a BGA cleaning solvent. I am not sure how such a process would affect the populated side of the board.

Hi Soza: As Dave F mentioned, there are lot of factors involving the formation of residue, after cleaning. Factors, (such as: solvent's cleaning power, presence of metal oxides, type of soldering flux, etc...). One thing pretty sure, IPC is usually
