Bought a can of contact cleaner today and proceded to do all visable plugs including injector plugs, see if it would help with the poor mpg/judder, but i think there are other reasons for the mpg/performance most likely thermostat, went backinto the house and happend to glance at the recipt from halfords and it said spray grease

rushed out and looked at the tin and it def says contact cleaner...... but underneath says. See pics, will this have caused any damage to the plugs, i'm not happy

halfords just catagorise items (well they used to)

the product you bought must of fell into that certain catagory

See what other people say but if in doubt, nail polish remover and some cotton wool. Sorted.

I pursonally wouldn't worry.
It is a bit like their version of WD40, which can also be used to lubricate and de-grease.

As said above, they have just included the spray within a "generic" category for ease of their stock control system.

As long as what it says on the tin, is what you want from the spray, then it should be fine.

the spray grease and the contact cleaner have 2 diff codes and are differnt colours, green for contact cleaner but it has the code for spray grease on it, and blue for spray grease

oh well, i guess there is a moral to this and it relates to Halfords - be bl00dy careful.

my only worry would be if its been sprayed on a multi wire plug block will it cause a short, but I use WD on mine with no problems, if you are not happy I am sure wd will disolve this grease.

I know for me, sometime halfords is just so much easier and if its 50p dearer - who cares.
