it depends on the what kind of flux and solder wither or not you need to clean the pipe. If your using S-39 you don't have to clean the pipe but if you use c flux you do. if your using 5, 10, or 15% silver solder you don't.

Way too much use of flux. Flux is only needed before the heat and only as thin as possible to cover the area where the two surfaces will be soldered and a bit beyond. The less flux you use the cleaner joint you will make.
Using flux after you already soldered is not necessary and a waste of flux, makes a mess, and if not properly cleaned afterward will promote corrosion of the pipe making it fail prematurelly. You don't need much flux because when it heats it will bubble and expand anyway.

After u solder runs, if the heat was applied in the right manner, it will run & drip out of the bottom. If it was done properly when the first drop falls the solder joint is full, depending on where you applied the solder & how it runs (gravity). Meaning is it running down both sides of the pipe if it is a horizontal joint. If it is a vertical upsode down joint place you heat a bit higher & on the side away from you. Solder will go towards the heat when u get a drop fall from joint it is full.

Actually it has more to do with how clean the pipe and fitting are then what kind of solder.
If the pipe is clean and nice and shiny (new) it is good to clean it but not necessary. If the pipe is old and dirty it needs to be cleaned.

one thing that he ... ( 2 months ago by writecory)
one thing that he forgot to mention is reeming the pipe. when you cute the copper there will be a lip when you stick your finger in the pipe. take a knife, or a reeming tool and run it around the inside of the pipe to remove the lip until it is smooth. IF YOU DON'T... the water will swirl in the pipe this swirl will eventually lead to deterioration and pinholes in your copper pipe. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO REEM YOUR PIPE. btw...i am a licensed journeyman plumber.

Never ever wipe the joint when the solder is still hot. wait till the solder cools and hardens to wipe the joint. Other wise the sightly tweek to the joint will cause it to leak. Also, Don't use flux to clean the fittings afterwards. Do you know what the purpose of wiping the joint is? It is to remove the extra flux so it won't corride. So why would you add more?
