[AMRadio] Deoxit

I have a question that I have been pondering for a while and maybe I need 
some additional evidence.

Over the years Deoxit has become a staple of switch cleaning by us 
boatanchor aficionados.  Everyone seems happy with it so much so, that 
nothing else is mentioned.  However I have had some occurrences that 
required reapplication of the substance after some time, usually in months 
to a year.  I wonder if anyone else has that happen?

My observations are particularly  related to band switches.  With 
reapplication the switch goes back to normal operation but later the 
problems surface again.   The problem is frequent enough that I have ceased 
using Deoxit and am trying a different chemical.

So does anyone else see these problems?  I am curious.
