Given up on Servisol switch cleaner and now use De Oxit (no connections other than being a happy user). Its expensive and took a lot of ooing and ahhing before I spent out for it. But it really is the best and lasts a long time as only a little is needed.
Servisol seemed to work initially but in 6 months switches needed squirting again which I dont find with De Oxit.
There is a school of thought that any cleaner should only be minimally applied to Pax wafers, particularly if they have high voltages on them. I read that it can get into the material and cause breakdown. I dont use excess and have never had a problem. Perhaps wafers that breakdown after using it were already carbonised from previous arcing and were a hazard anyway.
