Caig. Simple! All the other answere are pulling your unfunny bone., assuming you mean cleaning up electronic innards, not panels or surfaces..

caig.com - Home of DeoxIT - CAIG Laboratories, Inc.

However, I am still looking for that stuff we used to use at the hifi store where I worke din the 70s that took away the scratches on platic covers, like turntables. It was magic! Used junk suddenly looked brand new again. Some spray stuff...
