5.0 out of 5 stars Guitar pickup selector switch and push-pull tone pots fixed - try this before a tech
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)Style: CleanerVerified Purchase
I had two different guitars with issues. The first was a core PRS McCarty 594, where the push-pull pots didn't always work correctly. I'd pull the pot out, hear a slight crackle, but instead of tapping the coils, I'd still get humbucker sounds. It was very frustrating.

I also had a Sire Larry Carlton H7, and the pickup selector switch would sometimes cut out on the bridge position (no sound), but it worked fine in the middle and neck positions.

The DeoxIT cleaned both up easily, and now everything works perfectly! No huge mess, since I could control the volume dispensed easily by twisting the top. Extremely happy this worked that easily and didn't have to pay any large tech or repair bills. Try this before taking to a tech.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing stuff! We call it "Technician in a Can".
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2013
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)Style: CleanerVerified Purchase
I've used one form or another of this product since the mid '70s and it's fantastic.

I'd found out about it from a magazine back then called Audio Amateur and at that time, the similar product was called Cramolin. As with DeoxIT, it came in a red and a blue variety. The blue is/was a preservative for newly manufactured contacts and the red is/was a cleaner and preservative. Theoretically, the blue may provide longer/better protection while the red is better for cleaning and restoring contacts which are already oxidized.

You can clean contacts with the red, then remove it, then treat with the blue to get the best protection of already oxidized contacts, but in practice, the red alone works so well that it's extremely effective to simply clean and treat the contacts in one step using only the red. As a result, I use about one can of blue for every ten or more cans of the red. For most uses, most folks only need the red (D) variety. I don't want that to make it sound like I go through cans and cans of the stuff, but since I work in the electronics field, I do use a lot more than most people.

As has been mentioned in several other reviews, you need very little of it to do most jobs. A single can will last a very long time even for someone who is constantly working on a lot of equipment.

After finding out how well it worked on audio connections and potentiometers, I introduced the folks at the electronics company where I worked to it. All of the technicians and engineers were amazed and it soon became a staple. We designed, manufactured, installed, and serviced various telemetry and process control equipment. A lot of this gear as well as equipment made by others that we were called upon to service was in areas with corrosive atmospheres like oilfield, refinery, water/wastewater treatment, laboratory, and other locations where hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, hydrochloric acid fumes, etc., are present, leading to lots of contact-related problems.

It's been extremely effective over these many years, and although the name and formula has changed since the "Cramolin" days, the new stuff seems to still be very good.

I've also used it on very high voltage connectors and one of the amazing properties of it is that while it improves contact integrity and lowers contact resistance dramatically, it does not break down and cause leakage or flashover when used on high voltage systems. I've used it for years on photomultiplier tube and Geiger tube devices (radiation survey and monitoring equipment), and never had any problems with it. These systems usually operate with bias voltages between 900 and 1500 Volts, but sometimes run up to 2500V.

A fantastic example of how it works was something we did many years ago where we had a batch of very old thermal self-resetting circuit breaker devices in a system. The problem was that they had silver contacts. Silver itself is the best conductor of all elements, but it is very reactive and oxidizes (tarnishes) very easily. These devices were sealed and "non-repairable". But their contact resistance was unacceptably high.

I mixed a solution of Cramolin Red and a solvent (probably Freon TF back in those days), put it in a glass jar, and simply dropped these breakers into it and kept them submerged until the bubbles stopped coming out to make sure they were totally flooded with the solution. We then took them out, letting the fluid run back out of them, and then rapped them on a desk a dozen times or so to make the contacts inside "jiggle" a bit. That was enough to let the Cramolin work its way between the closed contacts.

Measuring a number of these breakers before and after the treatment, the resistances started out between 100 and 200 milliohms. After treating them, the typical resistance went down to around 6 milliohms! The high current and low voltage these devices needed to carry meant that the voltage drops across them had been unacceptably high, but post-treatment, they operated beautifully. And stayed that way for years.

Various other contacts which would heat up and cause other problems prior to treatment operated cool and with extremely low voltage drops after treatment.

I've personally "repaired" countless potentiometers, switches, and various connectors over the years with this stuff.

We call it "Technician in a Can", and it lives up to that name. I pre-treat a LOT of contacts prior to crimping them onto their wires, and it lowers the mating forces and improves the reliability of virtually any connector.

It truly is special stuff. It's indispensable for technicians, manufacturers, audiophiles, etc. If I had a 55 gallon drum of it, I could take entire pre-amps and other audio gear and dunk it to fix all of the bad switch contacts and pots in one quick operation. :)

The only thing that's a minor issue is that as with any contact cleaner that has (or is nothing but) a solvent, it will flush away the viscous goo that's often used to make a potentiometer have a "silky" feel to it when rotating. So when you're treating a pot, it's best to try not to allow any to get to the shaft/bushing part of the pot if you want to preserve the grease that's in that annulus.

But it often totally fixes a "scratchy" pot by simply getting it on the resistive pad and then running the pot back and forth a dozen times or so.

As with so many things, for some reason, manufacturers just love to make pot wipers with silver plating. Bad idea! But all too common. Once that wiper tarnishes, the pot will sound awful since silver oxide is an insulator. The DeoxIT usually allows that oxide layer to be removed by simply rotating the pot a dozen times or so, and then it coats the wiper and the resistive element, preventing future problems and leaving the pot working/sounding excellent.

Anyhow, all I can say is that this product has served me extremely well for nearly 40 years, and I highly recommend it.

DetoxIT D5 is a good product. Most recently I used it to clean up/stop noise in the pickup selector on an electric guitar. Though, like other similar products, it is pricey, it works as intended. I'm knocking off one star for application ease. The application straw that came with my product does not fit snuggly in the nozzle and as a result can fall out during application, resulting in an overspray. So care during application is required when using the application straw.

Scratchy volume control? Un-smooth lighting dimmer? Clean the contacts with this contact cleaner and you'll restore your electronics to like-new operation. Works great. (Do it outside if you can; you don't really want to breathe this stuff.) Flood the areas of contact and aggressively operate the volume knob several times.

Stupidly expensive, yes, but undeniably brilliant. A few squirts of this into the switches of some vintage hifi and radios I am doing up brought them back to life. It will reduce or remove crackles from volume sliders and rotary knobs, and in the case of old radios will restore a lost channel completely if a bad switch is the issue. This stuff works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hosa Deoxit is the One
Reviewed in Canada on November 7, 2020
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)Style: CleanerVerified Purchase
I first encountered Deoxit when editing a music magazine. The distributing company sent out a sample kit. I promptly took it home and attacked my old NAD 2020, a Norwegian designed and Chinese built integrated amp for our stereo system, vintage....1976 no less. I'd pushed the NAD aside for a couple of years because every single pot, knob, any moving object that adjusted the sound had gone terribly bad. The loud rude noises and fire cracker crackles sometimes got the dog jumping from his repose on the couch. With one treatment with spray and some wipes, and not having to go inside the unit....did it all from the outside....it totally cleared up all the problems: made pots, knobs, sliders, etc, easy to set in motion. Eliminated completely any noise: snap, crackles, pops. Completely. Only recently, ten years later, has one of the knobs exhibited any noise. You spend a little more on Deoxit but it saves you big time.
The next occasion was a few weeks ago and purchasing the Hosa Deoxit spray from Amazon.ca for a problem in my home studio. Similar results, perhaps not as dramatic, but the deal is this: it cleans and clears anything out of the way of the audio signal path. With no impediments, no sludge or oxidized soldering jobs, connections, etc the result is better, fuller, clearer sound devoid of those snaps, crackles, etc. Follow directions. Do not use and operate a motor vehicle. Seeing if you're alert. Tbw
