Dinan Tuner Spray

I'm getting ready to install my Dinan Stage 1 and I noticed that they recommend you spray the terminals. Since I bought the tuner used I don't have the spray. My question is does anyone know what type of spray this is and whether or not it's truly required? Can I buy something equivalent from the local parts store?

Dielectric grease or any anti-corrosive terminal spray will work just fine.

You need electrical contact cleaner like this: CRC 05103 QD Electronic Cleaner -11 Wt Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BXOGNI..._K4KXCbFE69H39

The goal is to clean the terminals and I believe this is exactly what DINAN includes just in a smaller can.

Bumping this thread. Anyone else confirm or deny that the CRC spray is what was used?
