I would like to clarify what the majority of the people here (mainly the people with serious knowledge) recommend as the best product AND method to clean and re-lube switches and potentiometers.

I think it would be really useful , as I cant bear the thought of members coating the outside of their pots and switches pointlessly, instead of getting the solution into the right places and also actually causing damage by totally drying out the contacts etc.

I know some products claim to clean and re-lube in one. other options are cleaner / de-ox etc , then use a lube after.

Serious answers only , Please.

the deoxit range , for example is vast, many products

royal to be honest i used to use regular contact cleaner made by chemtronics called pow-r-wash ,i had a jvc box that needed cleaning i sprayed some to clean the debri only to find out the it broke the plastic inside the pots from there on i have been using deoxit and yes its a little messy but up to now i have not had anymore problems,,so i ended geting the one called deoxit faderlube it has worked very good but its not that perfect as being able to replace the parts with new ones i hope this helps

Cool ramon !

I'm all good , I got my technique down

I would recommend using as little cleaning fluid as possible as a first rule.

Yeah, replacing pots would be ideal ! I have to do that in guitars quite a lot for my job, but you only have a few values for those 250k or 500k pretty much , and they are avalible everywhere , and extremely easy to replace !

(sweet avavtar b.t.w ramon !)

thanks royal,,i am a musician also music director for a church i play keyboards and guitar bass guitar and some drums,and i do my own repair to my stuff i had to fix my korg karma keyboard that had one key that did not work

I use Servisol Super 10 switch cleaning lubricant for the controls and Servisol Super 200 PTFE lubricant for the moving deck parts.
I use a can of compressed air to blow any dirt out first and also to remove any cleaner that's strayed onto surrounding areas.
