Detail 01
FaderLube, not DeoxIT
Built for plastic conductive tracks and moving controls. Standard contact cleaner can strip those surfaces.

CAIGDeoxIT FaderLube Lubricant 5 oz.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Lubricant made for faders and controls, in a 5 oz size. Use it on scratchy sliders and pots that have gone stiff.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Reviving scratchy mixer faders that crackle when moved
- Smoothing stiff or notchy volume and pan controls
- Studio and live console maintenance between services
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Cleaning oxidized metal jacks and pins, where DeoxIT is the fit
- Anyone hoping to fix a mechanically broken or snapped fader
- Sealed controls that cannot be reached without full disassembly
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
5 oz
A large bulk size. Sized for a console full of faders rather than one or two controls.
Detail 03
Lubricant first
Its main job is smoothing travel and quieting noise from movement, not dissolving heavy corrosion.
Detail 04
Restores feel
Stiff or gritty sliders regain even resistance across the throw, so level moves land where you expect.
Detail 05
Under $20
Cheap next to recapping or replacing faders, so it is worth trying before pulling parts.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Swabs, brushes and precision applicators are not included at this size
- 02Power down and unplug the unit before opening it to reach faders
- 03Apply lightly; excess attracts dust and makes the control gritty again
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between this and DeoxIT?
DeoxIT cleans metal electrical connections. FaderLube lubricates faders and controls, including plastic conductive tracks that a straight cleaner can damage.
02Will it stop my faders from crackling?
Often yes, when the noise comes from a dry or dirty track. Physical damage to the fader will not be fixed.
03Is 5 oz too much for one mixer?
It is a bulk size. Fine if you maintain several units; more than most people need for a single mixer.
04Can I use it on guitar pots?
Yes, on scratchy or stiff pots. Apply a small amount, work the control through its full range, then let it settle.
