** IME, good old WD40 cures many contact problems that DeOxit will not - particularly when penetration deep into a mechanism is required.

There are many similar products too, like CRC2-26 that have the same formulation and so do exactly the same job while costing more.

What the heck do you use ?

Depends on what I am doing. Where many would use WD40 as a cleaner, I
use Kroil as a penetrating type of oil and a few other usages.

For some cleaning of the grease off large pieces of metal
I use Ed's Red.



Doesn't WD40 attack certain plastic, and unless you know what plastic is
in a switch, try on a scrapper example first
