Default What version of DeoxIT do you use? Why?

In other words, D? G? Applicator- aerosol, needle, brush? Concentration? Quantity? Going to the Caig web site to order some left me somewhat confused with all the selections offered. Any advice appreciated.

Spray can - I started using the D5 - 5% solution - but soon found that the D100 - 100% - was waaay better.

I use the 5% spray for general maintenance and light duty cleaning. I break out the 100% stuff for stubborn/heavy fouling or for locations that are rarely accesed/difficult to get to.

I use the dropper D100L for the little things and the spray for larger items that need more coverage.

Ditto.

My D100L-25C needle clogged for some reason, so I just refill a syringe with it.

D100L with applicator, 7.4 ml bottle. I used it on the top end refresh for all connectors and God knows what else and still have 3/4 bottle left. I just looked on Amazon ~$15 a bottle.

Spray can of D-5.

It's what they had at Radio Shack, it wasn't too expensive, and I like to hose the living daylights out of stuff.
