What is the full name of this? I don't think I've heard of it before.
Great to finally see some discussion about cleaning techniques/products. There are so many differing opinions on the topic(as I've recently discovered!).

< Spraying anything into a pot or slider without
taking them apart is not a good idea.>

Although I greatly appreciate the rest of your advice, I can't imagine the time involved in taking apart every pot that needs cleaning. I've been using tuner cleaner to clean pots for years with satisfactory results. The only problem, as I mentioned before, is getting a small enough application. A common sense tip I just read somewhere says to cover the surrounding area where you are spraying with a cloth to catch the inevitable overspray.
Where is Lubri-plate available from in Canada? US?
