Maintaining Optimal Electrical Connections

We all know that, over time, oxidation can wreak havoc on electrical connections.

To remedy this, I recently ordered DeToxic D100L (general cleaning - copper surfaces, etc.) and G100L (for gold surfaces).  Do you have experience with using these solutions to clean, restore, improve electrical connections? 

Please indicate - name of solution / High voltage / Low voltage / audible results / insights?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences... I should have some experiences to share in a few weeks.

Be extremely careful in using this in AC wiring.  Leave no residue behind, and never spray into an AC outlet.

For the wires coming out of a wall and into a socket use fine grit sand paper.

I have found that replacing upstream sockets (if any) and using high grade (Commercial/Residendial) or better reduces voltage drop. Hard to tell though if it was the new sockets or meticulous cleaning.
