ok, enough of you dudes seem to be familiar with the
stuff, how does it compare with Brasso?
Brasso is for Brass. Not Gold.
I am not a chemist... but I can't imagine using Brasso.
There are several things to consider... removing oxidation and debris,
sealing, and lubricating. Caig ProGold does all of the above. It is
electrically inert in case you forgot to power off that board before
spraying it. But in addition to the cleaning and sealing capabilities....
ProGold is awesome for lubrication. Have a lot of boards that just don't
ever want to come out of the backplane or seat in it well? Without rocking
back and forth and prying? Clean the backplane pins and the card edges with
Caig ProGold. It will slide in and out nicely from now on. It's an
immediately noticeable difference. Not to mention the whole "better contact"
thing.
