Jun 24, 2023 at 17:51 comment added Jeff @SSilk You're idea is an excellent one. Likely better than compressed air, while usually having more force than a vac, can also drive foreign material deeper into the work piece. The brush-vac combo also A+. Regarding WD-40 use: that does excellent cleaning work and will dry after some time so a better lube can be used. However, I like to use aerosol TriFlow, which also does a good job cleaning. When the cleaning aspect is complete, the high amount of PTFE-based lube that will be left when the solvent carrier dries makes it a one-step process.
