When do I use DeoxIT ® vs DeoxIT® GOLD vs DeoxIT® SHIELD ?
DeoxIT® .
General purpose cleaner, for all metal surfaces with severe oxidation and corrosion. If there is a discoloration of the metal - it is considered severe. Use DeoxIT® to dissolve contamination, as well as lubricate and protect the surface. For reference, DeoxIT® has approximately 20% cleaning action.
DeoxIT® GOLD.
For plated surfaces (gold and other precious metals). Recommended for critical applications where only slight cleaning action is necessary. For reference, DeoxIT® GOLD has approximately 0.5% cleaning action. If the surface looks clean, applying DeoxIT® first is usually not necessary. If small amounts of oxidation are present on the surface, DeoxIT® GOLD will dissolve this. Apply DeoxIT® GOLD after DeoxIT® on plated metal surfaces, except where noted with DeoxIT® SHIELD below. The more critical the connection/part, especially low current applications, DeoxIT® GOLD should be the final step.
DeoxIT® SHIELD .
Suitable for all metal surfaces tp seal and protect. Recommended after DeoxIT® for best protection or on NEW metal surfaces (usually in the manufacturing process). Also ideal where high degrees of pollution (sulfur, salts, acids, etc.) are present. DeoxIT® SHIELD should be applied to clean surfaces - after applying DeoxIT® or using an ultrasonic cleaner. For reference, DeoxIT® SHIELD has 0% cleaning action.
