I hear you can get them pretty cheap in Thailand at those "massage parlors".

Fill a cup with white gas and submerge the lobes and axle while engaging the cam. Spray the cam off with simple green and then rinse with water. Do not let the chemicals contact the webbing.

In reply to: clean cams with toothbrush bar of soap warm water elbow greese works fine, I have done it many times. make sure you rinse well. once dry it's best to use graffite powder to relube. Things like WD40 or oil will work but collect new dirt faster.
That's the way I've always been told to do it.

I got the white gas info from Climbing Mag. I've done it on all my cams and it works great.
