DeoxIT Fader FN5S-2N Mini-Spray, Contact Cleaner/Lube/Protector for Conductive Plastics & Carbon Controls, Nonflammable/Non-Drip, 40g, Pack of 1

Does what it says it does.

I had a volume pot on my guitar that was scratchy and misbehaving. I always have a can of Deoxit D5 laying around, but it would only fix this issue for about a week. I don't smoke and I don't gig, so I wasn't sure what was wrong with the pot. Before I went through the trouble of replacing it (which I can do, but I hate soldering), I thought I'd try a little of the F5 fader spray. I hadn't used any of the F5 since my studio days 30 years ago, but boy did it do the trick! I got it about 3-4 months ago and gave the troublesome pot a single spritz. It has been whisper quiet ever since. I bought the small can because I don't foresee myself using a lot of this stuff, but the can is ridiculously small. For the price its a far better deal to get the normal sized can.

This product truely does remove the dirt in your volume controls that cause all the scratchiness when changing the sound level.

No Issues

Buying the small can made sense. Only had my receiver/amp and equalizer to clean/lube the pots and switches. Don't believe I used more than 1/4 of it. Good product and happy with results. Loses 1 star because of cost.

If you have old audio equipment like a Sansui QRX 4500 with slide switches for your balance or front rear speakers this will eliminate any static from corrosion or oxidation that has built up over the years from not being used. A must purchase.

There are a LOT of competitors out there & a lot of products that claim to do the same things. Some even claim to be better. In my experience though, it simply isn’t true.I’m no chemist or anything, but DeoxIT hit on something with their products. They ALL work well, doing exactly what they claim that they will, and doing it without causing any downstream issues. This is especially true of F5 fader lubricant. I make sure to keep a small can of this in each of my guitar cases & a larger one with my amps. Simply because it works really WELL & never has failed me. I’ve also tried a lot of the others, but they invariably either don’t seem to lubricate well enough to begin with, or they introduce additional problems such as catching & holding onto contaminates which can cause noisiness and intermittent cutting out.I try to stick with what I know works. This works.
