Default WD-40 to clean electric contacts?

A few things on WD-40.

It is, essentially, stoddard solvent, that is highly refined
kerosene and a very small amount of very light mineral oil.



** WD-40 contains no kerosene and the oil content is 10-15 %.

It is 100% volatile over time. Which is directly related to temperature.



** At room temp, that could means years.



WD-40 is NOT a contact cleaner. What it does along those lines is by rinsing.


** So the same action as other contact cleaners.


WD-40 is not a lubricant.



** Of course it is.
