Tom, from whaat I hear from the Ten-Tec reflector, the best contact cleaner 
is ,  eoxit  it comes in spray cans and not sure what else.  I am not sure 
but I have heard that it is the only one that Ten-Tec will use.  The web 
site is  www.caig.com  I have used it on pots and it works great.  good 
luck.  73
