I'm uncertain what replaces it - switch cleaner? - since blasting grit

needs WD-40's penetrating oil properties but without the dried-on,
sticky water-repelling coat it leaves behind.





Try Kroil. That is often hard to come by. Maybe PB Blaster will work.

Even some home brew mix of Ed's Red.


That looks promising. Thanks.
