I am getting some but I wonder if it lubricates also? Is the spray good for all a TV's needs or should I get the wipes or what?I got an old tuner and controls plus lots of connectors, stc. to do.
I have an old remote that has the copper circuits turned to black. Will Deoxit help that?
Thanks

Deoxit is best for removing oxidation, it really doesn't have lubricating properties...you can follow it up with a Caig product called CaiLube MCL for control lubrication. This alone is good to use on slide pots.

I prefer Deoxit DN5 non-flammable as it seems to leave less of a messy residue. Have used the Deoxit gel in a small tube on small areas such as relay contacts, which I then cleaned with a lint-free cloth to remove the oxidation and Deoxit gel residue.
There is also a Deoxit pen we have found useful for cleaning contacts such as circuit board edge connectors.

the best product we ever had in the shop was channel master color shield, I don't think they make it anymore.
