When I was a kid, the local jobber sold 2 products, the afore mentioned "Blue Shower" that you can bathe the control in and "Blue Stuff," an abrasive (I believe) cleaner and lube that you had to judiciously and carefully to contacts to prevent detuning.

In the BioMed Shop at the hospital I worked at in my senior year at high school and freshman year at college, we used several Miller-Stephenson products such as "Contact Re-Nu". The product had a hose and brush wand that attached to the can, was very handy. M-S also made a PC Board wash and a flux remover
