I've been aware of braid dressings and comm drops for about, oh, the last 50 years. Supposedly they improve the performance of electrical bits -- either reducing contact resistance or providing lubrication, or both. But for some reason I've been very skeptical about their alleged benefits, to the point where I've never actually tried them. This despite the fact I actually own a bottle of "Innox", which seems to be the braid dressing of choice.
I can't say that I've ever seen a competitor furtively dosing his car with either of these products, which tends to validate my skepticism. But that may simply mean said competitors are more furtive than I give them credit for.
Why would I doubt the value of these products? Good question. I guess it is in keeping with my long-time resistance to salesmanship. The harder they pitch the snake oil the more I suspect their trying to sell me hokum. I just react that way to a purported miracle in a bottle.
But I have always been willing to change my mind when presented with credible evidence. So speak up if you can present me with some of that. You might get me off the dime.
