I use DeoxIT part number D100L-25C. Its a dropper bottle with a fine
capilary out the cap. I think its enough to last a lifetime of full time
servicing because a connector or switch contact really only needs about
a quarter drop of the stuff. I don't like the spray stuff soaking up
insulation around switch contacts.

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.
