Have been using this since my first launch, and have had great cold weather results. Does anyone else use DeOxit on their igniter clips, and battery terminals?
If I am not mistaken, DeOxit does leave a coating that is supposed to slow down oxidization. The stuff is super expensive, and always going up, so I apply it with a cotton swab. Have seen some guys spray it all over the place, which certainly is one way to use up a can fast.I don't think the Caig stuff is water displacing whereas some of the others mentioned here might be? That might make a difference in a repair scenario with moisture involved.
(I'm remembering the time my Audi leaked and drowned some control box under the passenger seat, what a mess)

Believe me, Deoxit is great stuff, but it is indeed overpriced. Ask a Caig representative, and they will even confess that it is way too much for what it is.I am pretty sure that CRC 2-26 is comparable (or even better) and MUCH cheaper... Have seen lots of debate about this in train forums... I have used CRC 2-26 to repair / rejuvenate hundreds of old locomotives. Plastic and paint safe (although it will soak into cardboard).
