this was just more for "after the fact" info for any1 with similar issues

i thought that electrical cleaners were supposed to evaporate leaving no residue behind
the point of the lube is that the pins move slightly
the lube keeps them from exposing the base metal and oxidizing
you really want it goopy and not just a slight film of leftover residue
im sure noname dielectric would work but id rather use what GE recommends

whats your email?
ill send you the GE sheet about the lube on PDF

the GE kit costs a lot cause of the cleaner it comes with (powr blast cz i think) is like 50 bucks per 12 oz can alone
the lube is like 10 bucks for a tube and it has enough that you can use on a hundred cards
the kit comes with 2 tubes and 1 can of spray
youll run outta spray on the 5th card you service lol
i just use permatex nonconductive + lube
we used to use Deoxit but it is conductive i believe
the spray GE recommends probably doesnt harm the plastic plug nor does the Deoxit
the permatex doesnt seem to harm them either (i tested it before the 1st time i tried it on a spare plug)
