get the cailube spray, you'll get alot more,
but you may need deoxit rather than the lube.

Maybe both, actually, but never just DeOxit. Watch out for DeOxit on faders, especially lubricated ones like DJ mixer crossfaders - DeOxit is made of solvents, meant to eat oxidization (ie rust and corrosion) on jacks and connectors, and as a result, it has a tendancy to clean faders a little *too* well, leaving them without any lube at all. I nearly destroyed an old Yamaha SY-1 synthesizer using DeOxit on the faders - when I was done, they were sticky and terrible.

If your faders are actually *dirty* (like, you've been smoking around them for many years, or someone has spilled beer on your mixer, or you can actually hear the dirt in the form of scratchyness when you move the fader), AND they're made of metal (apparently lots of high-end crossfaders are mostly plastic, and DeOxit can eat them if you're not careful) then maybe use DeOxit, then use Cailube.

prolly just gonna have to order the 100% droplets from sqratchattack because after reading the above link. the 5% spray of cailube which rp sells has solvents and cleaners and wont work as well as the 100% droplets also .. the ALPS faders are carbon based i just took mine apart yesterday and cleaned it out it wasnt too dirty just had lots of useless dust on the bottom rail cleaned it well i just need some droplets now cuz its clean and smooth just not slick as it could be
