[Mobile-Portable] Winter Time Mobile Antenna Cleaning Time

[David]

Hey!
I went back and looked at this webpage again: http://store.caig.com/
There is a note there that one of the featured products replaces the ProGold!

It says:
"Featuring Environmentally Safe Contact Cleaners / Connector Enhancing
Treatments: DeoxIT® D-Series, DeoxIT® Gold G-Series (formerly ProGold),
DeoxIT® Shield S-Series (formerly PreservIT), DeoxIT® Fader F-Series
(formerly CaiLube MCL) and the NEW,  HAND-E-GLOVE®"

See especially this: "DeoxIT® Gold G-Series (formerly ProGold)"

And, they say it is now stocked at Radio Shack!

Try it, you'll like it....
