I have a can of D5.

I guess my biggest problem with Caig is that they make seemingly 100
different versions of contact cleaner.  It is like going to the store
to get a tube of Colgate toothpaste and you have 20 different versions
of something that you just want to put on a brush and brush your teeth
with.  (I gave up on Colgate years ago and go in and get
Pepsodent--one brand one "version" bang, I'm done and it's cheap too)
D5, D100 P5 this that all to clean contacts and wipers?  I just want
to get a can of Deoxit and be done.  This shouldn't be a purchase
project like buying a car.  I don't want to spend an hour studying the
different formulations; I just want to spray the stuff and clean a
switch.  I'm surprised there isn't 30 different types of WD-40 by now.
 Hush up Rob, they might be subscribed to this email list and get
ideas.
