Deoxit Gold - Cleaning Abilities

Howdy Vinnie2. Your experiences with Deoxit's Gold product makes sense as the Gold is not a cleaner, it is a contact enhancer. Deoxit calls it a Conditioner & Protector. Thus you would use a different Deoxit product to clean and optionally apply the Gold as a second step. Here's what Dexoit mentions on their website about the Gold:

"DeoxIT Gold is a unique conditioning solution that improves conductivity and provides long-lasting protection on gold, base metals and other precious metal contacts and connections (gold, silver, rhodium, copper, bronze, nickel, etc.). Use on plated connectors, contacts and metal surfaces for maximum performance and protection. Recommended for critical applications where only slight cleaning action is necessary."

Also, check out Jim McShane's suggestions with using Deoxit to clean tube pins and sockets, linked below. Hope this helps!
