Question Wet Sanding Nitro

I have modified the profile on the neck of my guitar and will soon be ready to wet sand.
Google searching revealed that the majority of people used water and dish soap to wet sand. I have also found where water can present a problem and mineral spirits or acetone were substituted for the water. I don't want to mess with acetone, so I purchased some odorless mineral spirits.
Knowing that the mineral spirits is used for clean up, will it dissolve the nitro finish when sanding or is it a recommended wetting agent?
Note: I erroneously listed acetone as a lubricant and have corrected it to be naptha. My apologies.
