[Coco] Cured MPI

[Frank Pittel]

Looks like that stuff is a well kept secret. I started using Cramlin but
that isn't made anymore. It was replaced by progold(?). It's a contact cleaner,
microconductor as well as oil that keeps the oxygen away to prevent future oxidation.

As Boisy discovered it's great stuff.
