Dave, you'll have the same trouble using either DeOxit red or Gold on the stainless-steel mini-plug [HOSA]. I tried them all. In order to eliminate the oxidation that occurs over time between the plug and jack you'd be best advised to re-terminate the cables with 3.5mm gold-plated plugs. I have done this and its completely eliminated the connector interface problem. As well I've found that a very very light coating of DeOxit ProGold contact conditioner on these radio jacks removes the the previous grudge and keeps them functioning 100% with the gold connectors.
