Question Cleaning Spay

What kind of spray is good enough to clean the motor and make it run faster?

Don't tell me brands because I m from europe and I don't know if I can find the same brands here.

-Thanks

Look for electronic "contact cleaner". Sold at most electronic shops.

Just an electronics "contact cleaner" must be?
I mean, are there any restrictions that I should avoid?
If you know what I mean.

Because, I got an electronics contact cleaner spray and it says that I should wait till it dries out before I use the device (motor) again.
And it is flammable.
I read in a thread that should not be flammable and that the guy that used that spray, immediately run the motor after.

BTW thanks for your help.

Hmmm...I have only ever seen and used non-flammable contact cleaner. I didn't know that there was stuff that was flammable.

I don't want to try it and feel bad after.

So, I think tomorrow I ll check again in a store for a different non-flammable contact cleaner.

Thanks

Talking Speeeeed! (UT2003)

Today, I bought a new spray and test it on the motr just a while a go.
The result is that, the motor is definately faster than before.

Thanks for your help, Shane!

Today at Home Depot in the electrical department I picked up a can of 'CRC Electrical Grade QD Contact Cleaner" for $5.97. I have yet to try is because it requires a well ventilated area and it's dropping down to 30 degrees tonight...

This should be just as good as any other spray and also claims plastic / PCB friendly. The Home Depot had about 10 cans available. I believe it's a well stocked item.

Before you spray anything check if it vanishes quickly.
That will assure you that will not be any liquid inside the motor when you will run it.

The first spray I got, took ages to vanish but, the other I got yesterday, in a few seconds.
