Default Good Contact Cleaner ?

Sorry, I should have specified the device: I am trying to fix a VCR,
which some WD-40 got sprayed, near the area where the two reels are
located, now trying to remove it: I could use an Isopropyl Alcohol
cleaner, and I believe it might be available as an aerosol by GC
Electronics. After using this, I would like to apply the contact
cleaner, to make sure the WD-40 is gone.

Was recommended the GC 19-724 contact cleaner, but cannot purchase it
because it comes in a box of 12. *Would like something similar, that
can be ordered in a single quantity.


Would something like Zero-Tri Super Cleaner/Degreaser act in the same
way? *(Would like to remove WD-40)


The lubricant in WD-40 is either mineral oil or Naphtha in Europe.
Both can be removed with alcohol.

Once the mineral oil is gone, then you can then use any contact
cleaner on your unspecified device. *I wouldn't try to do the job in
one pass.
