I have never had problems with damaged components from Radio Shack Tuner
Cleaner or Contact Cleaners. By the same token, it always seems that the Tuner
Cleaner leaves a film on the contacts. Other cleaners that I have used at work
seem to clean with no residue.

With any cleaner, there is the possibility of damage to plastics. Be careful
to limit the spray to the control in question, being mindful of the case and
display areas. With the elimination of Freon as the propellant, I have found
that the solvent is more difficult to control, requiring more pressure on the
nozzle to spray, resulting in an unexpectedly strong stream of solvent.

I have never had a problem even in those areas with the stuff from Radio
Shack, but we use degreasers at work, HDX for one, that eats certain plastics.
HDX, therefore, would not be suitable for cleaning contacts.


Regards.

The stuff you'll find at Radio Shack will have solvents that could damage some
components.


Never say never.
