Another unscientific anecdotal user. It usually works pretty well, you shouldn't use very much. Sometimes, people like to flush out a pot, or want to spray a bunch into a blind hole in hopes of getting some onto the right area. Then you risk washing out existing lube, and you have to sop up excess petroleum naptha for days. The Faderlube (F) is sometimes better on carbon/plastic pot tracks than regular DeoxIT (D), and sometimes not, over time. Sometimes, a mystery, the pot is back to being noisy a week or year later.
DeoxIT has changed the names over the years, offers many applicators and formula strengths. It takes careful reading to decipher. Usually when I need to reorder, the names have all changed.
I use both spray cans and needle applicators of their "D" general cleaner lube and Faderlube (F). The D5 spray cans means 5% strength, the rest being mostly petroleum naptha carrier. The needle applicator bottles are 100% DeOxit, like F100L. In any case, I think a very thin film is all that you want.
