Quick Google check of ingredients lists petroleum naptha as primary ingredient (basically lighter fluid)I've never used Deoxit, still on the can of stuff I bought in the 90's that works well but running it out. It doesn't hurt finishes at all.
Does Deoxit hurt finishes?
It doesn't hurt a good finish but if you have a vintage already micro-cracked finish this will happen with anything that contains oils if you spray it on the finish (it's supposed to be sprayed inside the pots not on the finish of the guitar! If you want to put it on the axis of the pot use a cotton Q-tip):Does Deoxit hurt finishes?
That’s funny you say that cuz the Starfire pots were D5’d then left not playing for 6 months and now the pots are really bad!! So I will try the lube. Thanks for the tip.
