To do that job requires a good grease solvent that
lingers and a light oil to provide metal surface
protection.
This is why I use De-Oxit as a cleaner and follow up with
Fader-lube on controls and Pro-Gold on switches.

Well thank you Phil.
I just stated what I use.
I do it because it works.
You are obviously the sort of person who believes in do things
thoroughly, and using the right tool for the job.
I can understand this if your doing it professionally, or if it's the
sort of thing you find you need to quite often - but are you convinced
that the end result is substantially better than a quick squirt of WD?

But that is a sad comment about HIM and nothing else.
The famous "one born every minute" observation is a marketeer's byword.
