I seriously thought I was using a micro amount. It's a pump spray can, so I had very good control over application.
I think new switches and pots come with some type of thick grease on the moving parts. That helps dampen the movement and keeps the contacts from excessive wear and oxidization. So the problem becomse getting a grease back inside the working parts. You'd basically need to take the pots apart to properly re-grease them. OTOH, the reason for using the Deoxit was to remove years of built up oxidization from the contacts. But this stuff I got has way too much penetrating oil in it. It’s a no brainer that dumping oil all over will keep stuff from oxidizing further, but I was looking to remove what oxide was there, not flood the place. I'm going back to using my vintage can of Channel Master color contact cleaner.
CAIG does make something called fader lube, I have no idea how that works.
