[DeTomaso] How do y'all polish your fuses?

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Yes.  I've used it in a lot of places; anywhere an electrical connection 
is made.  I even took my old 1986 electronic wristwatch apart, cleaned 
the connections and coated them with it and it works like new again.

It's best practice to clean the connections before use.
