I'm having trouble finding a electrical contact cleaner. This is the closest stuff I could find at Radio Shack. Thanks!

UrS4 can't come to the phone right now
I used that stuff from Radios Shack. It seemed to leave some oily residue behind, so I used isopropyl alcohol afterwards to get rid of any residue. I think brake cleaner would work as well or better. By the way, I saw contact cleaner at Kragen today.

After a visit to my local parts store, I decided on this stuff instead....
After reading the backs of the cans the electric parts cleaner seemed a little too harsh.

Here's the Radio Shack product I use. But I think what you've chosen is fine...
glad you didn't go with the cleaner/lubricant as it leaves an oil residue.
I don't use the brush that comes with the Radio Shack product on the MAF but I do when cleaning off some less delicate items like circuit boards and solenoids etc.<ul><li><a href="http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=6 4-4345">Radio Shack Electronics Cleaner</a></li></ul>
