Over priced contact cleaner and lube

Deoxit F5 is the “go to” cleaner and lube for potentiometers and faders by those that service audio equipment. However there are a couple of things not going it’s way:

1. It’s way over priced. It seems the manufacturer has taken advantage of it’s near cult following and priced it accordingly. There are far cheaper products on the market that are probably just as good.

2. The over complex nozzle is near useless as it leaks the product everywhere apart from where it’s needed. I replaced the nozzle with a standard nozzle and tube.

It works.

Does it work? Yes! Is it any either way?yes replacing the pot or fader! No any other way yes cleaning with ultrasonic bath and relubricate the pot or fader. Not always easy or convenient to use the other 2 methods, either you cannot source another one or the price for cleaning with ultrasonic bath is either to expensive or not possible. So conclusion: this is the best you can get except replacing and ultrasonic; fast not complicated with good results.Read full review

Little spray goes a long way

Bought this product as I saw all the other good reviews on it working well. I used this on an old Urei1603 mixer with all the faders and eq knobs were causing terrible noises. Stripped down all the mixer and spray a little of this in each component and now its sounds brand new and truly amazing. Definitely worth the extra money on this product instead of the cheap ones.Read full review

Good to keep handy around mixing desks

To be fair to this product, I used it on carbon track faders, rather than the conductive plastic it specifies on the can, so it;s probably not the best test. Nonetheless, it has improved the performance considerably, reducing crackle to an acceptable level.Read full review

Excellent product

Not cheap but saved time and cost of replacing several original crackling pots on first day and still loads left. I will reorder when finished.

Magic stuff

Brilliant for grotty or crackly faders. Currently restoring 30 year old lighting desk and magically sticky faders become smooth again!

One of the best contact cleaner

This is one of the best contact cleaner with a gentle unharmful to the parts. Much better than Servisol.

Great stuff. Small but mighty can. Use it sparingly but when you need it this is the only product which works reliably and safely.

The item seems to be exactly what it says, unfortunately hasn't fixed the thing I bought it for but I'm sure it'll come in handy for lots of other pro
