I'd love to but can't figure it out. Not being in the US, I have to
get it from an eBay store. There are several that sell Deoxit
products, but none that are very clear which one they sell is the one
I need.



I had best results with DeOxit D100L in a small bottle (7.4) with a brush applicator.

Here's a pic from one retailer:

Sometimes I use a tiny paintbrush or a toothpick to apply the stuff. I've used this bottle a lot and it looks like almost none is missing. The smallest quantity is enough to do the job. 7.4ml will last me probably 5 years or more, doing a few radios a year.

The spray can puts out way too much for precision work but you can spray a little bit into a cup and work with it that way.

I don't know if there is any exact replacement for DeOxit. It is magic potion. Worth every penny.
