Dave,

I forgot to mention, an excellent applicator for applying droplets 
of cleaners like DeOxit are 1mL (CC) syringes with 24ga needles. 
Commonly available from drugstores, often for free. Great for 
reaching hard to get to places.

Here is a sample of a fiberglass burnishing tool from Amazon for $7:

Here is a small quantity (2ml) of the 100% strength DeOxit for $8:

DeoxITLiquid, squeeze tube 100% solution 2 mL - D100L-2C
