Caig fader lube had a name change to deoxit fader lube a few years back.
Terrific product designed specifically for this task.
There also a product for cleaning switch contacts deoxit D5. Also fantastic.
Yup you will pay a few bucks for a can but they last forever through
countless projects.

I hope you mean brake cleaner, as brake fluid comes in two types,
neither of which seem good for inside of potentiometers.... one Glycol
based and the other a synthetic base both with a viscosity greater than
water.
Yes, brake cleaner is very aggressive, just like carburetor cleaner. I
would not use it around plastic until I tried it on a sample disposable
part.
Cleaning tuners and volume controls was standard service back 30 years
ago. Many spray chemicals for the job. Using that little red straw got
the cleaner into the pot well.
But, using that spray on fader controls rendered them bad instantly! Not
a great lesson to be learned by trying.
Another vote for DeOxit (Caig) Fader cleaner.

anything without the utmost care.
