CHANNEL STATEMENT: This is a channel about my relationship with stuff. We all need to have a better relationship with the stuff in our lives - we have too much of it, and most of it’s junk. If nothing else I hope you take away with you an interest in the stuff in your life - a curiosity for how it’s made - why it’s good or bad - and perhaps even inspiration to build new stuff or fix what you’ve got. Having said that - the internet is a terrible place to learn anything. Unless you independently verify what you learn - you’ll never know if it was right or wrong or made up completely…. Unfortunately disinformation is both the currency and the bane of our era. I’m no expert in anything you’ll see here. I don’t want you to think that I am. Through my job I have access to people who are - and I’ve learned from them over the last couple of decades and become someone who is curious about stuff, brave about stuff , and foolish enough to try and make a youtube channel about my relationship with stuff all at the same time.
DISCLAIMER / PLEASE READ: In making this channel I will put more effort into making the content accurate, safe and correct than most - but that doesn’t mean I can’t be wrong. Accordingly I can’t guarantee or warranty any specific outcome for viewers should they attempt something similar to what they see on the channel. I encourage you not to copy projects you see here directly but build on them - discuss them with experts in your life, and make them better - make them work safely for you. We all need to figure out a better way to own stuff - this channel is meant to illustrate my experience with that, promote learning, have some fun, and challenge myself. Working with any tool or on any project can lead to unintended results - including injury and damage to property. Don’t work beyond your capability. In the same way I have to take complete responsibility for the outcome of my endeavours as recorded here, and my own safety and the safety of those around me - you have to do the same….. Use the information here at your own risk. Be safe, have fun, proceed with the appropriate caution for your situation….

I'm in the lawn care business, and I'm making the switch from gas-powered to battery/electric equipment. I use this stuff a lot to clean the connections where the batteries slide onto the equipment. If they're dirty, not enough power gets through, and the equipment doesn't run right. This stuff is better than anything else I've tried for that purpose. I consider it cheap insurance for what is really very expensive equipment.

I’d recommend, after cleaning, using Deoxit shield as it’s supposed to prevent further corrosion or oxidation from happening which should keep those kinds of contacts clean for better power delivery.
Use caution on automotive connectors, on a Nissan 3.5L, I sprayed about 5 different engine connectors before remating, thinking I was doing good preventive maintenance. But when remating, I couldn't push them together to get the final mating "click". Puzzled, I blew the connectors with compressed air, left the car there for 2 weeks and surprisingly, when i returned, all 5 remated just fine. I suspect the Deoxit caused the rubber/ plastic inside connector to swell. Later, on a Honda 2.4L i demated the 4 spark plug coil connectors. Again I sprayed each connector half with Deoxit, and again I couldn't push the connectors back together to get the final click. Blew them with compressed air, and since I had access to get leverage on the Honda connectors to push them together, I was barely able to mate them, without breaking from the high leverage used.

Good to know- thats exactly why i bought the Deoxit for - "old car dodgy / "green crusty" connections .. ;)
This stuff really works! Cleaned my old subwoofer bass volume. No more scratchiness or sound drop out. And i couldnt event really spray inside the potentiometer just on the side and on the main shaft. I loosen up the knob an works great.
i will give it a shot!
Really enjoyed! Great video, you are compelling :-)
I found alternatives to deoxit, MG Chemicals 401B - Nu-trol Control Cleaner similar to D5, so far use this on my Atari 2600 switches, paddle controller and Sega Genesis Model 1 headphone volume slider. the other MG product I use is 801B - Super Contact Cleaner With PPE, does the same job as G5 putting a protective coating on gold plated contacts for games or console cartridge connector.

Just checked it out and there’s two problems I’ve found. Costs more than deoxit and DOES NOT remove oxidation, a huge problem in older equipment.

if you can point to Canadian retailers selling for cheap, I'll get it
Spray an amp down in after2 years before the corosion Reall hits!
What would you use for a DJ mixer covered in dusty fine alkaline sand? D5/D5 mini/Fader or Vinegar/Water/Alcohol or all of the above?

I see nobody's replied to you, D5 be best, just remember you'll have to remove the screws on the mixer and apply to the inner contacts, not like wd40 and just spray inside.
This is a contact cleaner? Any difference from WD40 contact cleaner?
Have you tried naphtha (camp fuel oil) and cotton swabs for scrubbing contacts clean? Googling what's in deoxit, says %75 is naphtha. Like kerosene and jet fuel, It's a good solvent too. Haven't needed more than 99% IPA and have never tried the naphtha method. Your video showed me I don't need the expensive DEOXIT. Next time, I'll try the naphtha on slider switches and see how it goes.

Im sure naphtha is there to evaporate after spraying like brake cleaner.
Whoah whoah whoah As a retro gamer this scared me. I've only heard of people recommending isopropyl alcohol. I'm scared I now need to spend $70 on these

if you take the plunge I'd consider d5 before the gold..... I can find it for $27 CDN at my local surplus store. The biggest problem is the can leaks all over the place....
Too many ads on Google.
Nice! Don't use d5 on sliders and potentiometers. Fader lube for that!
