 Switches Hi everyone
I have a 2CV wiper switch that sticks in and feels a bit ruff.
Any ideas on cleaning and lubrication is welcome.
Cheers

Re: Switches Gum from finger dirt and moisture probably. I used to use WD40 but that attacks plastic really.
You can buy dedicated switch cleaner combined with lube especially ffo the job. I have some somewhere.

Re: Switches That looks promising. I have taken the switch apart and cleaned it in soapy water and dried it on a storage heater. It has greatly improved it, but I think the cleaner/ lubrication will work wonders for long term maintenance.
Thanks Ian
