Default WD-40 to clean electric contacts?

I just hate dealing with customers machines after they use WD-40 as a
'lubricant'. In all cases, after a few years, the gear systems are
frozen with some sort of glue like substance that take soaking in
mineral spirits/paint thinner overnight to soften enough to take apart.
