Deoxit, Electrolube and flux

[Maximilian]

On the bench there is a battered, oxidised and slightly rusted (the cover was rusted) motherboard. :shock:

As far as I can see there is no battery acid damage, but it looks bad at the moment.
But i'm up for the challenge and hopefully i will at least get a good donor board out of it.
The bad sockets i will replace, but i would like to keep the chips.

Normally I use Kontakt PCC, but is Deoxit or Electrolube better?
Both have many different versions, witch versions are the best for this kind of work?

What is the best flux gel for SMD that is available in Europe from Farnel, RS or Conrad?

Thanks for the info!
