Know before you buy
Yes, it leaves behind a thin, protective silicone film. This is intentional, as the silicone acts as a lubricant to reduce wear and tear on moving parts like switches and tuners.
Yes, the formula is specifically designed to be safe for use on most plastics and elastomers, so you don't have to worry about it melting or damaging your electronic housings.
It is suitable for cleaning keyboard switches, but keep in mind that it leaves a lubricant film. If you prefer a completely dry, residue-free clean, you might want to look for a non-lubricating contact cleaner instead.
Yes, it features a fast-drying solvent blend. While the solvent evaporates quickly to clean the surface, it leaves the protective silicone layer behind to safeguard the contact points.
It is ideal for components that involve friction or movement, such as switches, tuners, battery terminals, and locks. The added silicone helps these parts operate smoothly while preventing future oxidation.
