Ok, here’s my reason for the poor review. While we all know DeOxit D5 is great stuff, apparently so do the makers.
Not sure if they switched to the new NON ADJUSTABLE can because it’s cheaper, or to make us waste this expensive chemical....probably a bit of both.
While DeOxit is awesome, this can is stupid, flat out. I’m a Professional Audio tech and own a Vubtage HiFi resto Company. I go through 25 cans a year, if not more.
With the new non adjustable can, it just wastes the stuff, if that’s not bad enough.....it floods your gear too. While I’ve developed a method to lightly spray it, it doesn’t work well.
Found a new source for the old school adjustable can. Just make sure that’s the can you get. It will last 10times as long, literally.
I’m actually experimenting with new products due to DeOxits poor business practices.
I’m not going to put up with it. They know exactly what they are doing and I’m not happy. Neither are the 50 or so other techs I’m buddies with.
A group of us at wtesting every product out there, to see what works. DeOxit May have a monopoly on contact cleaners, but not for long.
We will be adding our findings to every review around the net and the forums.
Also, your MUST follow DeOxit D5 up with a lubricant like FaderLube or you’re destroying those pots! Seriously. Know what you’re doing before you destroy this vintage gear.
When it’s gone it’s gone.
Being able to point and spray is not KNOWING what you are doing. Learn or oh someone who actually knows.
It kills me what I see these days. Back jobs everywhere. Beware.

BEWARE: Nozzle and tube are horrible!
By steveeb on June 4, 2017
The product works as it should, but the all-in-one nozzle and tube is horrible. It's cheaply designed out of flimsy plastic and the tube is too large in diameter which doesn't allow precision placement of the Deoxit. I found the button difficult to press hard enough to dispense the product, so I removed it. When I did a large amount of Deoxit had accumulated under the top and poured out all over my carpet :/. I replaced it with a standard nozzle that I got off of some other can of lubricant and it works much better.

New can not an improvement
By Bob on April 3, 2017
That what is pictured is not what is shipped. The "new" version has a one speed spray with a large spray head that has but one level: maximum. No doubt it will quickly drain the can and just sprays too much out at a time. Perhaps they hope to sell more product as you use it up way faster.

Just BUY it already
By CruzCruz on December 29, 2019
Restored Sansui 5000x.The extended nozzle made it super easy to get to hard to reach places. Not sure what people wrote on here about it being full blast when spraying. Just don’t press it down all the way dummy and you can control the amount that comes out. Even after spray it would drizzle a little bit which I took advantage of by simply placing it over areas that needed cleaning. It doesn’t get more precise than this and kept me from over spraying and making a mess. Stop using the autozone contact cleaner and just use this. No more static on volume, bass, treble controls. FM tuner actually works now. Also removed static from push button selectors like loudness, hi filter, lo filter etc shoot even the power button. The unit even seems to sound twice as good now. Don’t waste anymore time and just buy the damn thing. Barely used any of this spray at all. Should last a great while.

I used this to clean the volume knob on the amp I use. It cleaned it up very well, no noise while turning the know now! For its intended purpose, it works very well.Reviewed in Canada on July 23, 2021
Be careful as it comes out fast, and you don't need much to do the job!
It is way overpriced in my opinion, however there is nothing that does the job quite like this. Unlike other solvents, Deoxit cleans and protects, so the potentiometers are not vulnerable to oxidation after cleaning.
I don't like the nozzle design, and wish it was just a removable straw (it currently pivots up to transition from spray head to nozzle). It is tolerable, but not ideal.
Overall, I think it works very well and would recommend it since there is no cheaper comparable product.
