Really old carbon traces can be brittle and spraying them with harsh solvents can cause them to crack off. Fader lube type products are designed to help restore some of the durability to carbon tracks. It doesn't always work if the tracks are too far gone, but it can prevent catastrophic failure of a carbon track that is starting to get crunchy
I don't know what's inside your pots though.

I usually use D5, and when I am satisfied with the results, I follow up with a short blast of Fader F5 to leave behind a bit of lubrication.
