Radio Shack's Tuner Cleaner works great for me, plus it's great for
the knobs on my guitar amp.
from my understanding, WD40 acts as a dust magnet because it doesn't
evaporate completely and leaves a sticky residue behind. If that's the
case, it might be good for a short-term fix but the performance would
deteriorate at an accelerated pace after applying it.
Cheers,

Place the paper towel around the pot to catch the "splash", shoot a squirt
of Tuner Control into the pot, work it back and forth, shoot another shot of
Tuner Control, then blow the whole mess out with the canned air, and watch
what kind of mud you get out of there!
eliminates jitters, sudden spikes, pulls to one side, etc.

I wunder what the *oil* does to the pots to clean them and what it does
to make them last longer? I will definatly try the olive oil trick
since I've been using an oil based product anyhow.

This seems to have worked. I was hesitating to disassemble the pot itself,
but it was required to thoroughly clean it.
Marc.
Although I prefer the Saitek because of the proper shifter and I prefer its
pedal shape/layout, optical pedals would be a major plus!!! I can't wait to
find a wheel that actually works well AND does not require annoying and
tedious ongoing maintenance.
