How to apply deoxit
Purchase the right type of deoxit for your application.
Deoxit is manufactured in over a dozen varieties, so you should read carefully about the uses of each type before your purchase. For cleaning and lubricating potentiometers (" pots ") or contacts, the standard " d5 " spray should be used.
Other formulations are available for more specialized applications, though, such as cleaning gold or conductive plastics. Remove the case from your receiver or amplifier.
