Demonstration of how a contact / switch cleaner reduces the contact resistance when the contacts are oxidated or corroded.
Kontakt 60 was used in this video to clean dirty metallic contacts to reduce the contact resistance between the switching contacts for electronic circuits.

I have been looking all over for someone to clearly demonstrate that contact cleaner actually works. Your use of a multimeter was simple and brilliant. Thank you so much. I will subscribe. Kontakt 60 was on my shortlist - now I have seen it work, it seems like the best choice.

Your video is the only KZfaq video that has most of its focus on switches - most others focus on restoring potentiometers. Your video is THE ONLY ONE I have come across that SHOWS the improvement in conductivity by using a resistance meter (Ohmmeter). My actual issue is loss in conductivity between a fuse in a car fuse box - basically the same as two switch surfaces. (ANY resistance in there and the fuel pump will fail to pump fuel at any odd moment.) Nobody has a video about dirty fuses and fuse sockets in a car. But from all the videos I have watched, I'm going to stick to pure contact cleaners over those that include even a slight amount of lubricant - so I will go with "CRC QD Electronic Cleaner" over any of the DeoxIT cleaners. I just wish I had the ability of measuring resistance as you demonstrated - that would be perfect! However my van has tiny sub-miniature fuses. No possibility of inserting a probe in there.

INCORRECT. After using Kontakt 60 it should be flushed with Kontakt WL, to prevent your electronics be eaten away in the long run. Finally, apply a little Kontakt 61 to protect and lube. If you want to use only 1 spray then try the all-in-one Kontakt 60 PLUS.

Great demonstration skills! When after spraying contacts with the cleaner and letting it sit. Do you wipe off the cleaner or it dries out? Also what multi meter do you use?

I got a second hand mixer from auctions. It works, but there is some crackling when I move some faders. I ordered a contact cleaner, will try this when it arrives. I am not sure how I can reach the potentiometer of the faders, I hope it is not difficult to access.

Hi. Very informative. I see you're from SA so you might be able to help. I bought a product called Imoto electro cleaner and I heard its made in SA but I can't find any info about it and specifically how to use and Not use it. C Do you know anything about it? The can mentions it can be used on just about anything electric and electrconic but doesn't mention what it contains. I'm scare I'm might break something in the process. I wanted to use it as a replacement for isopropyl alcohol as its hard to find it where I live.

Related question - what is the best way to avoid future oxidation once you have rehabilitated contact points?, especially in rough environments like damp air with saltwater nearby? Especially when it comes to damaged contacts they may not have galvanization intact and can be extra vulnerable to repeat-oxidation problems. I've mostly just given contacts a thin coating of all-purpose oil (ie. wd40 type product) and it seems to help so far and wtill makes just as good contact, but I don't think that will last long term (oil drying, friction from use ect.) so I am looking for a better preventative. Dielectric silicone grease perhaps? I'm not sure. Obviously I don't want a preventative layer that is so robust that it actually lessens the contact quality.

At 1:23 you show the leads resistance to be 1.23 (as you say comma), and after the contact cleaner Through a switch the total resistance is 0.33 ohms

BE CAREFUL!!! This is NOT the whole story. You will ruin your pots if you use Kontakt 60 without cleaning it with a specific spray cleaner. Better NEVER use Kontakt 60 for this purpose. This video is highly misleading!
