[DeTomaso] An inexpensive alternative to Stabilant 22A electricalcontact enhancer

[Richard Barkley]

Don,

Good find.

In searching for the comparison I was reminded of another product I have 
and have used and mentioned before: Bullfrog
http://www.bull-frog.com/products/
They have an electrical contact cleaner and protector which I've used 
for that purpose and also such things as disolving and flushing the rust 
out of Pantera door hinges (worked quite well). Their products all use 
"VCI" technology. The have "emitters" that can protect enclosed areas 
(like the inside of your car). However their products (because the VCI 
vaporizes) have a limited life and need to be applied periodically.

Speaking of which, the DeoxIT site has some longevity info:

I would think in a Pantera interior environment (garaged, seldom driven 
:)) the high side would probably apply.
