Best pot cleaner (available in the UK)

[cpemma]

Search gives me some American brands I've never seen over here, so UK only please.

What's best for killing noise when the knob's moved? Choices seem to be,

• Maplin Electrical Solvent Cleaner - got some, not impressed. No idea what solvent it is.
• Servisol IPA 170
• Electrolube 99.7% IPA (a more expensive IPA)
• Servisol Aero Klene 50
• Any other to recommend?

Sorry but a new pot is the best solution.
Cleaners may work in the short term but if a pot is noisy, it is likely that the track is worn out and/or the wiper spring tension has gone.

It's a dual-concentric (no separate balance pot) and I can't find a replacement.

If you can find a couple of new single gang pots of the same type, it's usually possible to swap the tracks.

I always use 'Servisol Super 40', it's a WD40 clone - works far better than any switch-cleaners I've used. Been using it probably for 25 years professionally?, never had a problem with it, the lubrication properties of it really seem to help with pots.
