Cleaner for volume control


My rotary volume control on my preamp is sometimes making a static like noise.
What is the ideal (spray) lube for me to try?
Thanks.

The great thing about the Caig FaderLube that Timnaim so firmly recommended, above, is that it not only cleans theo pot, it lubricates the conductive plastic inside so it won't dry out again in a hurry. You can hear the grunge go away after you use it. Turn on the unit after the cleanup, swing the pot--grunge fades out and goes bye-bye.

I've cleaned pots with other stuff but the grunge always came back. Not with the Caig.

If you want to be compulsive about it you can flush the pot first with a spray of DeOxit (or something cheaper), till the cleaner drips out of it. Then twist the knob a few times and apply the FaderLube
Kirkus, thanks for the benefit of your experience. I'll follow your lead on pot cleaning.
