Know before you buy
The gel fills microscopic irregularities on your metal connectors, creating a more uniform surface. This improves electrical conductivity and ensures a cleaner, more stable signal transfer between your components.
You only need a trace amount. Apply a very small drop to the contact surface and burnish it in; using too much can attract dust or debris, so less is definitely more.
For sustained performance, we recommend reapplying the conditioner every one to two months. This helps maintain the integrity of the connection and prevents oxidation from building up over time.
The CCC is designed for general electrical contact surfaces, such as RCA plugs, XLR pins, and speaker terminals. It is not intended for use on screens, delicate optics, or non-electrical surfaces.
The formula is designed to remain as a gel to maintain the contact seal. Because it does not dry or evaporate like a solvent-based cleaner, it continues to protect the connection until your next scheduled maintenance.
