You know me and Caig... ;-)

Sorry, but deoxit has a lube and gets sticky over time. It also can
eat off plating.
You cannot have any lube on J wires as they will attract dust and
quickly become bad and cause friction.
They are gold plated wires. You can't increase their conductivity by
adding something in between.
