De-Oxit = Cramolin = snake oil.

Naturally, the spray stuff is useless, but the type that you paint on,
leave for a few minutes and wipe off works very well indeed. Switches I
treated many years ago have long outlasted new replacements.


** Dismantling switches in order to merely clean the internal contacts is
plain nuts.

The stuff does NOT do what WD40, CRC 2-26 and a host other similar
fluids do in seconds - without any disassembly, waiting or need to be wiped
off.

It is not a grease solvent, not a lubricant and does not penetrate.

Snake oil mixed with turps would do better.
