Hi
The old RS one was interesting - drip some onto a polystyrene tile and whoosh - no tile! I found Servisol to be quite useful but only used as Nick outlines above as it will cause plastic crumbling eventually.
After seeing this thread I've found a half-full tin of our old favourite - the Philips red can! I'll use it very sparingly.
I think anyone who's ever repaired VCRs for customers has a knee-jerk reaction against WD40. Unfair, I know, but just the smell brings me out in a cold sweat...
