    Al I use a combo of plain DeOxit and DeOxit Gold. The first cleans the second conditions the contacts.

    Ditto. This is from the back of my DeoxIT Gold.

    Directions:
    Turn off equipment. Pre-clean with DeoxIT contact cleaner on dirty/oxidized surfaces. Then apply a short burst of DeoxIT Gold. Operate the part/device to help distribute product. Wait a few seconds, reapply on short burst. Wait two minutes before turning on equipment.
