Hosa DeoxIT FaderLube spray for audio faders and pots — 5 oz, 5% solution for quieter smoother controls

Hosa F5S-H6 CAIG DeoxIT FaderLube is a 5% spray formulated to clean, lubricate, and stabilize conductive plastic and carbon audio controls for quieter, smoother operation.

This compact 5 oz aerosol delivers a controlled 5% DeoxIT solution designed specifically for faders, potentiometers, switches, and other conductive-plastic or carbon-based contacts. Rather than a generic solvent, this formula improves electrical contact integrity while reducing noise and restoring a responsive, low-friction feel to mechanical controls. It’s made for musicians, engineers, and technicians who need fast, reliable maintenance without disassembling gear.

How does this spray improve noisy faders and scratchy pots?

By cleaning oxidation and residue from conductive plastic and carbon surfaces, the DeoxIT formula helps eliminate intermittent connections that cause crackles and static. Its light lubricating action re-establishes smooth travel for sliders and knobs while leaving a protective layer that resists re-corrosion.

• Removes oxidation and contaminants from contact surfaces
• Leaves a thin lubricant to reduce friction and wear
• Reduces static, crackle, and intermittent signal dropouts

When should I use a 5% DeoxIT solution instead of stronger cleaners?

The 5% concentration is formulated for routine maintenance and safe use on conductive plastics and carbon-compound contacts. It’s less aggressive than high-concentration cleaners, making it suitable for frequent treatments where preserving delicate surfaces and control feel is important.

• Routine maintenance on faders, mixers, and live-sound gear
• Safe for plastic-based potentiometers and carbon tracks
• Good choice when you need mild cleaning without component removal

How do I apply the Hosa F5S-H6 DeoxIT FaderLube correctly?

Use short, targeted sprays to avoid excess fluid and follow with controlled actuator movement to work the formula into the contact surface. For best results, test in a small area first, work the control through its range, and let any solvent carriers evaporate before use.

• Shake can and apply brief bursts directly to the contact or pot slot
• Operate the control repeatedly to distribute the formula evenly
• Wipe away any excess after treatment and allow drying time

Will this product damage my equipment or change the sound?

The Hosa DeoxIT FaderLube 5% is made to be safe on conductive-plastic and carbon contacts when used as directed. It does not add significant resistance or alter signal paths; instead, it improves contact reliability and reduces noise caused by contamination or wear.

• Formulated for contact-safe cleaning and lubrication
• Does not leave heavy residues that affect electrical performance
• Recommended for targeted, occasional maintenance applications

Who is this for? Musicians, audio engineers, and studio technicians who want an easy, effective way to restore smooth control action and reduce audio noise will benefit from the Hosa F5S-H6 CAIG DeoxIT FaderLube 5% Spray. It’s ideal for live rigs, studio consoles, home studios, and any gear that uses conductive-plastic or carbon contacts—especially when you need a safe, routine treatment without complex disassembly. Keep one in your toolkit for quick touch-ups and preventive maintenance to prolong the life and reliability of your equipment.
