I don't know why the heck my post was duplicated, that was wierd.

Anyways, that contact enhancer is awesome, found out about it when I was a BMW tech, it was great for fixing the occasional electrical contact related issues. We could revive parts on the older cars that were no longer available. I keep a bottle at home and in my toolbox at work. Most recent thing I've used it on was my R/C race cars, my winter hobby. We run hi-power/hi-discharge lithium polymer batteries and many of us delete the little power switches that turn the cars on before & after the heats. Well the little buggers are prone to failure or impact switching them off, so we hard wire them on and the system is live when you plug the battery pack in and there is always a voltage snap/arc and it wears out the specialized and expensive terminal ends which are a pain to solder on too. I found that Stabilant 22 makes them last longer and provides a better, more reliable contact with less arc. When your leading a race, it sucks to have your car shut off on you!

Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

If you need parts, I have some!
