Hi Sam

Probably the most useful overall is the 200 ml D5 spray can, which sells for
anywhere between $8 and $12.  It is the 5% solution, but with 20% cleaning
agents.  You can spray a small amount on a cotton or foam swap where
spraying isn't a good idea.

They also make very small "portable" cans of the D5 and small tube of the
D100, which is full strength.  Full strength refers to the protective
coating it leaves.  That formulation apparently has no cleaning action.  You
would only apply it after cleaning contacts thoroughly.

There are also kits with a variety of their products, including Cailube
which is for pots and ProGold.  You can find more info on the manufacturer's
web site which is http://www.caig.com  They used to offer a 150ml pump spray
bottle that was D20, or something -- intermediate.  That would be a good
choice, but I don't see it offered now.

I haven't found many places locally to buy it.  Microcenter, the big
computer retailer, carries some of the line, but when I last went there,
they didn't have the big D5 cans.  Antique Electronics Supply carries it.
Radioshack.com used to, but I can't find it anymore on that site. Used to be
one of the better prices, like $7.98.

The mfr. lists some sources on the web site and you can order directly from
them as well.
