Deoxit D series comes in many different packacges, some fast evaporation some slow, and the 5% and 100% solutions.
I thought I read that the D100 100% solution should not be left on, that it was for cleaning of majorly oxidized surfaces and should be wiped off afterwards, where the d5 5% solution was able to be left on without worry.
Deoxit has so much documentation i am not going to spend any more time looking for what i thought i once read about the differences of d100 and d5 regarding d100 needing to have the excess removed.
I've had some issues with spray cans either foaming up a from red tube or nozzle, and the replacement canof d5 sent by Caig not having any pinkish tint left over. The sprays cans in my opinion only good for areas requiring lots of surface area coverage. i waste a lot of it for doing smaller areas where the needle applicator would be much more precise and my next D series product will be either d5 or d100 in the bottle.
I've been spraying Shield S5 on my computer fan circuit boards which are always sucking in high salt content humid air and are very prone to corrosion. No failures on any S5 sprayed fans, although the wire entry into the hubs I cover in Amazing goop.
I have some faderlube f5 spray for potentiometers, but some Pots have been too far gone to be saved.
Precision mini swabs and mini bottle brushes sold at drug stores for intertooth cleaning are also extremely useful, to get inside pin and barrell connectors, or micro usb.
