Quite, just use detrition alcohol. Surgery better yet, just wont dry newspaper publisher towels to remove the old material. Most thermal compound can be removed without some liquid dry cleaners being practical. Just be secure to not leave any report behind when you apply the new compound.

I have used this method on hundreds of systems and ne'er had an make out (and no unmated residues left behind).

Kitchen roll (little "dust"). Information technology will also "buff" the surface a bit. Just rub until shiny/clean. Be careful to not bend any pins.
