[Mobile-Portable] Winter Time Mobile Antenna Cleaning Time

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

For home lamp sockets/bulbs, there's a product named "BULB-EZ" that I use on the bulb screw EVERY time I install a replacement.  Not expensive.  Works great!  One little sealable container is probably enough to last a homeowner's lifetime!  Probably good for automotive work, as well.
