Hi. Stabilant 22 was touted highly by Jerry Pournelle
in Byte magazine
as a contact enhancer, it might help after a good de-gunking.

"Stabilant 22, the miracle all-purpose contact enhancer. It not only makes
for better electrical contacts -- a major use of Stabilant 22 is to get all
the electrical noise out of hi-fi systems -- but also lubricates connector
insertions. If you don't use Stabilant 22, I bet you wish you did."
Hi
Why use someone's resold product when you can just
buy some silicone grease like DC4 and it works fine.
DC4 will last longer because it contain a binder.
As for degreasing, I would suspect that something like
brake clean would be better on electronics. Gunk engine
cleaner has corrosives and is hygroscopic. I don't think
I want that in my machine. It would surely cause
long term problems.
