ah, ok you have a pre-applied 'thermal solution' on the heat sink - in this case it it up to you, if the cpu core is clean, then the pre-applied gunk is just the right thickness for you, that helps a lot.
- on the other hand 'better' thermal compounds are available - they shouldn't be 'messy'
like I say, up to you, removal solution would be isopropanol (iso-propyl alcohol) and any glasses cleaning cloth should be 'lint free'
