That's a really stupid thing to say. Fucking microcephalic.

** Yep - there is a sensible way to deal with noisy faders on such items .

1. Make a small puddle of WD40 on a piece of metal or plastic.
2. Dip the tip of a very small screw driver in the puddle.
3. Transfer the WD40, drop at a time, down the slot and onto the track of the fader - 3 drops, spread out is enough.
4. Move fade up and down through full travel.

Thus way avoids flushing out the internal grease that makes the fader move smoothly.
The OP would have used way too much and would up with unmovable faders.

WD40 can be lethal in the hands of fools.
Such folk are where all the nonsense complaints come from.

WD-40 does not belong inside of electronics. That is why a variety of
cleaners(general electronics, tuner cleaner, etc) are manufactured. WD-40
is mainly for freeing and cleaning mechanical movements.

Even then, proper lubrication should be administered to door hinges,
sliding components, etc, after cleaning with WD-40.
