A little WD40 on a small brush cleans it up perfectly in seconds - because
WD40 is 90% grease solvent with a very
low surface tension.

If you squirt some into a pot through a hole or crevice, the same thing
happens but it takes a tad longer and you have to rotate the pot a few
times.

Fluids that have no or poor grease solvents simply cannot do this trick.

Include isopropyl alcohol and flurocarbons in this category - as used in
so
called "contact cleaners".

If I returned a boutique amp to a customer and it smelled like WD-40 I
would likely not see that person (or any of his friends) ever again.
WD-40 is something mechanics use. DeOxIt is something e-techs use.






I bought a bottle of De-Oxit a few years ago because I thought it must be at
least as good as its reputation.
I don't use it now because it doesn't seem to work very well at all.

I quite like this instead, and have been using it for more than a decade.
