I've used the DeoxIT D5 spray. I works great in flashlights and battery
packs. I've had mixed results on the potentiometers in my Paragon; they
always get scratchy again in short order. Maybe it's just the cheesy
pots that Ten-Tec used in the Paragon, which are inferior to the "big"
pots in my Corsair.
How about the CRC "QD Electronic Cleaner":
http://www.crcindustries.com/ei/content/prod_detail.aspx?PN=05103&S=Y
It is readily available in auto parts and some hardware stores. It is
advertised as no residue and safe for plastics. It is petroleum
distillate and alcohol based.
Then there's WD-40, which I understand is not favored for electronics
because of its residue, but I used it once on an intermittent pushbutton
switch on my Sangean ATS-803A portable receiver and it cured the problem
for good.
