I use elecrical contact cleaner/flux remover, it evapoates quickly and is easy to use. It's made to clean electonic components so it's very safe to use on PCB and edge connectors.(but highly flammable!)

Yeah, when using contact cleaner ALWAYS make sure it is dried THOROUGHLY before you plug it back in!! :shame:

shit ...it's too risky i'll have to stick with the rubbing alcohol
so anything on the new radioshack cleaning solution :conf:

.... if it work's i'll bring my AES to them i can just dipped in

It's not really risky, all you have to do is make sure it is left to dry for atleast 30 minutes just to be sure. I hear it works wonders compared to rubbing alcohol. I still wonder what the special NES cleaning paste is that removes oxidation completely from carts that this guy sells on ebay. I need to find out what he uses.

i bet it's rubbing alchohol one bottle and CLR on the other :lol:

SNKNostalgia · Aug 25, 2005

I know the other one would probally have to be alchohol so it cleans the cleaner off. The cleaner is some sort of paste though. Most all electronic cleaners are liquid in a can or bottle. So this still makes me wonder exactly what he has.
Everyone, read his description a little more. It is something strong from what I can gather if it eats the oxidation off the contacts, yet harmless overall.

Dishwashing soap and water for me. Garden hose, scrub brush. Let dry overnight.
