Don't know whether you can get Caig products shipped to EU. Pretty sure you
will find them on Amazon. You may also find musical instrument stores (that
sell electric guitars) carry it. The Caig Laboratories product I use is
DeoxIT D5. I always seem to end up with it in a spray can, though my
preference would be to have it in liquid form so that I can apply it using
a small paint brush or cotton swab. Weidinger is selling Cramolin
Contaclean in EU. RS in the UK also has Cramolin Contaclean.
