Car contact cleaner

Electrical contact cleaners are special agents that help to ensure the flawless operation of electric equipment. They remove different kinds of contaminants, oxides, oils, solid deposits very well. They clean terminals and connectors. Prevent their further contamination and corrosion.

What are the types of electrical contact cleaners

Depending on the active ingredient, there are the following types of products:

• Alcohol. Provide effective cleaning of the treated elements. Dissolve the contaminants at once. When they dry, they do not leave any stains or sludge. Can be used for corrosion protection.
• Oil. They do not only remove contamination but also form a heat-resistant protective film on the treated surface. It prevents corrosion, voltage drop and also reduces the resistance of wires.

The best results can be achieved but using both kinds of these products. Thus, the deposits will be cleaned as good as possible and the elements will be protected from the environmental impact.

Tips for using electrical contact cleaners

1. Read the instruction carefully. The succession of actions when using these or other products can differ.
2. Cut the contacts to be cleaned off the power supply to avoid short circuit or electric shock.
3. Shake the bottle well before you apply the product to the treated surface.
4. Spray the electrical contact cleaner. Mind that some products dry at once so you have to clean the contaminants right after the application. Some products evaporate slowly. They have to be left on the treated surface for 5–10 minutes, as a rule, to dissolve all the deposits.
5. Use a lint-free cloth to remove dirt. Sometimes, it is allowed to use a brush.
6. Avoid contact of agents with paintwork and plastic parts. If it has happened, wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
7. Perform the works in a well-ventilated room as the products are inflammable. It isn’t recommended to spray it near an open fire.
8. After you’ve used an electrical contact cleaner, do not power the wires. Wait for some time for the substance to evaporate.
9. Keep the aerosol away from open fire and direct sunlight. Protect the bottle from mechanical impacts when transporting it.
