DeoxIT D100L-25C Precision Needle Applicator, More Than A Contact Cleaner, 25 mL, Pack of 1

This and the other deoxit fluids help clear up the crackling from older stereo equipment volume, base and treble controls etc. It is good to use the lubricant afterwards.

Brought back old pots faders and switches I thought were gonna be scratchy forever.

I use this for coax connections and for refurbishing my TV remote contacts. I like this stuff and its why I bought a big bottle of it. It needs very little and it goes a long ways. I just never want to be without it.

Ive been using this stuff since the late 1800s in audio pots and switches. Audio guys have commented forever how this stuff lubes and quiets audio slider pots. My findings have always been equally as positive. I put a drop on the pots on my flight sim joystick. They are typically 10k, 90 deg ROM composition pots, doing the typical 5v thing to an A/D converter. They are often miniature pots, smaller traces, likely more prone to dirt/dust/bug poo. As expected, the drop of red stuff smoothed out the response very dramatically. What was a quarter to half volt spike with every movement of the pot became measurably zero spike. Smooth as a baby pots bottom. As smooth as any Hall Effect sensor curve. Heres the new use - I put a drop on the joysticks mechanical cams. Thats typically a machined and/or chrome surfaced cam and ride bearing affair with or without a center detent. I dont want oil or grease on these, they live in a desk mount joystick or in a set of flight pedals, constantly on the floor, being activated by the bottoms of the pilots shoes. I simply cleaned the factory supplied lithium/moly/bear fat grease off the cams and allowed one drop of DeOx to flow onto the cam bearing surface. The carrier disappears via magic pixies and apparently leaves the Business End part of the product on the metal surface. No dust collecting like with grease. The seemingly high price of the little bottle is not a factor. Man cave engineers will likely get 10+ years out of one of these bottles. Youre likely to change hobbies or die before you use up two bottles.

Its hard to tell if it actually helped our issues but there was a lot of gunk that came out.

This stuff is magic in a bottle. A must have for cleaning up electrical contacts in old cars and pretty much anything else. If I could dip my whole car in it, I would.

Works well!

This is most useful for maintaining guitar switches and jacks. It stopped crackling and dropouts immediately. Also works for restoring continuity in motorcycle wiring.

I use DeOxit on all sorts of electrical contacts and havent found anything better. This particular form is great for lubricating electrical plugs then inserting them in outlets that are old and resisting plug insertions.

I have been using deoxit for several years. It can bring back moderately damaged battery powered equipment back to life or make good equipment more reliable.
