Preferred Contact Cleaner and Contact Enhancer for Audio?

I have been doing some research on the topic of contact enhancers. I've used the Stabilant 22A contact enhancer. I understand other options occur in this space, such as the Furutech Nano Liquid, the Mad Scientist Audio graphene contact enhancer, and Cardas Contact Conditioner (to name a few). Any one having experience with any of these (or others not mentioned)? And what about contact cleaners? Are any contact cleaner worth considering (beyond 70% isopropyl alcohol)?

I had been using Kontak for 25 years with good result.

It make sound more transparent and detailed.

Most important thing is that it does not give any residue after cleaning.

If you close the bottle carefully, you can keep using it over one year.

The Gold is, not-ironically, for gold plated jacks and plugs. As Elizabeth suggested, the Gold is available in a 7.4 mL bottle with brush applicator (part no. G100L-2DB) for twenty bucks on Amazon. In that bottle is a 100% solution; the aerosol spray in a can is diluted, and messy. The red version is for non-gold surfaces.

Kontak seems fine, I can hear a slight difference after cleaning once a year.
