"Auto Restoration with DeoxIT"
About 1 year ago I purchased a '87 Benz, 300E as a project car. The basic, major components were in good working order, however a lot of cosmetic issues, age related parts replacement issues and ulimately a paint job were obvious. I picked up the car in the evening and started my near 100 mile trip home which turned into a bit of an adventure. As twilight approached I decided to do the safe driver thing and tried to turn on the headlights but had a heck of a time figuring out how to accomplish the task. Success after a few attempts only to find out my test of necessary exterior driving lights did not reveal a "bunch" of other electrical issues under the hood, inside the car, the HVAC system, ABS system and the list goes on.
When I started purchasing parts and supplies, the electrical issues were always on my mind. I knew good contact at electrical connectors was essential but the question was how to accomplish getting them cleaned up without creating additional challenges. One evening I happend upon an ad while surfing the web hunting down reasonably priced parts that described DeoxIT in a way that hooked my interest. Not satisfied with the commercial fluff I did a search and found the CAIG website and had my curiosity tweaked even more by what I read. I found out Radio Shack sold the stuff and proceeded to purchase some at my ealiests opportunity.
My first project was the instrument panel where almost nothing worked and the majority of it is electrical in one way or another. Everything I disconnected got a quick spray of DeoxIT and another as parts were reconnected - lite bulbs, oil pressure guage, tach, clock, dimmer, etc. After reassembly, I started the car, turned on the lights and everything worked! HOTDOG!! This process continued after removing the dash to overhaul the HVAC system. Every electrical connection I found, and there's a bunch of them, got a squirt or two (per the directions). I have since found lites and features I didn't know I had and I am convinced DeoxIT played a significant part in the results.
If I may coin a phrase, let there be no doubt that DeoxIT will continue to be an important tool as I work on this and other projects where electrical connections are involved. In Conclusion, I have found a great product that does what the producer claims - what a novel concept. Thanks to all !!!
