Most folks use the 5% spray because it is commonly available and easy to apply. But you have to soak components in the carrier fluid just to get a decent amount of active ingredient on the contacts themselves. One advantage to the spray is the washing effect of the runoff. A further disadvantage is having that runoff coat everything in the vicinity....another reason why I'm increasingly just rifle shooting with the 100% stuff.

I have never had problems with de-oxit on switch wafers in my National,
Clegg, Gonset and Hallicrafters equipment. I think I may have even used
it on my 2B at one point or another. For general cleaning purposes on
either electronics or my smoking pipes collection, I use ethanol. I buy
the everclear variety from my local package goods store and use it
sparingly with q-tips and pipe cleaners. I would steer clear of the
de-natured stuff, especially if it contains methanol. It cleans well
without dissolving most things that I want to remain behind. For
lubrication, I use Kroil or Break Free sparingly. If it requires
grease, I use the synthetic gun grease that comes in a plunger
applicator. I think it is sold as shooter's choice.
