Hi Steffen,
I wouldn't clean my hypalon boat with acetone. Hypalon is fairly resistive against aliphatic solvents, but it doesn't like aromatics and ketones. In fact i was able to clean away the adhesive with acetone, when i tried to repair my old Zodiac. Toluol (aromatic) was much more agressive, but nevertheless, acetone took away the adhesive and some of the hypalon.
I would not use any solvents on my tubes, except maybe alcohole for dirt, that's really hard to remove. If you love your boat, just use some kind of dedicated tube cleaner. Maybe it takes some more effort to get it clean, but the tubes will last longer. :)
