CAIG DeoxIT FaderLube Lubricant 5 oz.

Used this to clean out my guitar pots. Turning the volume knobs would short out with static. A small squirt on the pots and problem fixed.

Got this to remove crackling in a speaker control of a vintage stereo amp. Works BETTER than regular DeOxit!

Used on an old school vintage clock radio. The volume control made a horrid sound when used. Making the radio useless.We all know the situation. We go to turn on our favorite radio and one day SCRATCH, CRRRRRRUUUUNNNCHHHHH, STTTTTAAAAAATTTTTIC..And, your heart sank. Knowing your old trusted friend has seen better days. Or has he?All you need do is have or gain access to the rotary mechanism inside your electronic friend, and no need to even take it apart or remove it. Just need to get behind the cover.Find the knob or slider and see where it comes together. The board material, and the metal or plastic housing for the rotary or slider?Unplug the electronic device. This stuff is very flammable.That is all you need access to. Dust off any dust in the area if any first.Have some paper towel or rags handy to help clean up. It won't be much.When using the straw make sure it is at a right angle or sticking out straight.I used a pair of pliers to make the end of the straw oval and thinner to fit into the crossfader fader slots.You do not need to spray a lot. A solid press then stop. You only need a few drops to get into the mechanics.Then rotate or slide the item being cleaning back and forth for a minute.Then if the rotary or slider started all the way to one side. Move it to the other now.Spray again. Just as before a few drops. This is water thin material in the can. And, a small amount goes and goes a long ways.Repeat the moving of the dial or slider. Doing this for a minute or two.Imagine your car is dirty, you take it to a car wash. You are in effect doing the same now for your electronic devices.And, the lube is built into this, so it is like the wax on the finish to keep it clean longer.This can be used on any rotary or slider styled electronic control.It is best to take apart the actual electronic item to get you closer to the mechanics behind the scene that are in need of help.Always unplug your device, remove batteries and such as this is a very flammable liquid.Do not use WD40. Because you are only cleaning the mechanics a little. Then leaving them raw and exposed.If your electronics get water in them then use WD40 because it is a water displacement spray. Not a lube or oil.Value for the money: My one repair tonight paid for this can and more.My new Mini Innofader Plus came 100% ready to use as is. After using this on it the movement improved 100% more.If you own anything electronic with rotary or slider controls, then do yourself a huge favor and get a can of this. Become your neighborhood electronic hero with this. Or, just to save yourself a fortune in repairs or worse replacements.How I discovered this product - The InnoFader I bought years ago had a tiny cute tube of DeOxIt redish color in it, I honestly didn't even notice it until my first InnoFader was having issues. I cleaned the years of dust and such out of it. Still goofing up.Went online and read about DeOxIt and wished I had some. Out of frustration I pulled out the InnoFader box, it is very small so I kept it with my DDJ SX2 original crossfader in it, and that was when I noticed that cute tiny tube of DeOxIt. I used 3 drops and the 99% of the issues solved.The movement felt like a hot knife through melted butter. Smooth!I had unfortunately handled the InnoFader in a manner that caused it to eventually skip or jump around as it went to the left or right 100%.As it would close or turn the sound to the left or right off. It would occasionally jump towards the middle open.I did check curve settings and made sure I was not in CUT mode. The curve setting dial was half way.Mechanically I must have pulled the lever towards me, causing the carriage to fail partially.

After it spent a couple of decades stored in a closet, I set up my old 1990 boombox in a spare bedroom to play CDs (or radio, or tapes). It was fully functional, but the volume slider was so massively static-filled at the slightest touch, that it made the whole unit virtually unusable. Luckily there was enough open space under the slider to get some of this spray inside using a spray tube, without trying to take it apart. I sprayed as little as possible in 2-3 short bursts and then worked the volume slider up and down several times, let it dry for perhaps an hour, and 95% of the static was gone. Another once-over in the same way got the other 5%. I also used it around a stiff mechanical CD player lid release button, which freed it up so that it now returns to default position properly. My boom box is 100% fit again. This spray is a little expensive but totally worth it. The Low-Medium-High adjustment marked on the spray can top is nice also. My only minor complaint is that the included spray tube was slightly too small, so it would shoot out of the nozzle when trying to use it. Instead, I used a slightly larger tube from some other spray product I had in my garage.

I used this product to clean the pots on my Pioneer 707 tape deck.

Purchased after watching some YT vids on what might work to fix my controller that had failing faders. Just as in the vids I cleaned them out best I could, squirted it, left it to try, came back and the faders worked great. This stuff is cleaner + lubricant.. I had electronics cleaner and had tried it on the same faders several times with little effect. Since this saved me a full tear down of my midi controller and replacing the faders Id say this is a win.

I picked up a Peavey Basic 112 Amp a few months ago for very cheap. The previous owner complained that it was virtually unusable because of all the static and a few dead spots in the dirty pots. Taking a chance, and having heard of this stuff, I went ahead and bought the amp.Finally got around to messing with the amp today. Removed the head unit, flipped it over so I could see the little "drain" holes on the pots.Attaching the straw/nozzle, I aimed it into the hole on each of the 6 pots and gave a couple of quick, short bursts. Then I twisted the knobs on each of the pots, full throw, back and forth, several times to work the F5 in.Almost instantly, I noticed the knobs were significantly easier to turn, so I gave each pot another quick couple of shots, and continued working the knobs back and forth.After doing this, I let it set for an hour or so, to let any excess F5 evaporate, and then put the amp back together.After waiting for a bit, I connected my bass, applied power and slowly brought up the Gain and then Master Volume. As Steely Dan sang, there was "No Static At All!" I cycled all the pots, "Low, Low Mid, High Mid, and High" without a single bit of static. The amp now place crystal clear, as if it was brand new!Gotta love it when a plan comes together!

Best product for the job
