Always wondered about that.

Todd, thanks for the tip. Just ordered the package you recommended.

I'm curious about this too. I've had dealers who use some Phillip contacts cleaner to clean their RCAs. On what equipment I have no idea though.

Hi,
I have been searching for a homemade rca cleaning formula and have been thinking of using 99% isopropyl for cleaning and finishing with a pure silicone dielectric to act as a conductive lubricant. However yours seems interesting and low cost. Does Deoxit list ingredients on there products? Are there any risks in using naptha?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have been looking for a home brew and yours is interesting. Does deoxit list its ingredients anywhere? I had been thinking of using 91% isopropyl to clean and a pure silicone dielectric as a lubricant. Are there any risks using naptha?
