There appears to be quite a few varieties of this product; can you guys recommended one for cleaning male XLR pins?

Thanks.

Some people experienced using as such could change a little bit the sound quality after a couple of months. Worse case scenario could happen with cleaning products like Walker, Cardas, etc. Therefore it is recommended to clean those contacts/plugs with alcohol right after applying Deoxit.

MG has a UK distribter, as far a I know. Before the MG I used Kontak (very expensive) and found that the Electrosolve works just as well.
