By the way, I think brake cleaner, as sold in spray cans, is ether or closely related chemical, not freon. Ether also does evaporate leaving no detectable residue. I don't doubt that Stylast is a re-packaging of something not too exotic, and that it is very expensive on a per ounce basis. But we have lots of testimony, including my own, that one small bottle lasts for years if not decades. There are much bigger rip-offs in audio. Of course, I stopped using it a few years ago because of those rumors about damage to the glue or the migrating-up-the-cantilever story. Plus the fact that Magic Eraser works so incredibly well while avoiding any danger that might be posed by any liquid cleaner.
It might be a volatile substance diluted in water, suggesting that after a certain amount of time, the volatile active ingredient may evaporate, leaving only water.
