I do find with pots with nice physical resistance (lots of grease in them?) F5 does make them spin a bit too easily. I found that F5 restored them a little after this. My guitar tech used to use servisol in pots and faders.they went proper scratchy after a while.

I use D5 for switches and connections and F5 for pots and faders. DeOxit is what all the 'pro's use' Everywhere I've worked (I work with electronic stuff) there are cans of DeOxit always available. You are essentially doing the Alcohol thing but don't need the canned air. When the strings are off, the DeOxit can get into the space between the piezo and the saddle. I must say, a small spritz of DeOxit on each piezo when I change my strings has kept it 'running'. I had this issue and then used DeOxit D5. 20 Pcs Piezo Discs 10mm Acoustic Pickup Transducer Element Buzzer CBG Guitar. Martin A0056 Thinline 332 Acoustic Guitar Pickup System.

It is a pain but this is how I’ve fixed twice over many years.1)Remove strings 2)Remove back cover behind knob controls 3)Carefully unpack small bunch of cables. Continuing our musical journey in this episode were exploring piezo devices, and even make a small song towards the end Hope you enjoy And remember to sup. I believe my sweaty hands salts are causing this. Compared to magnetic pickups, these piezo-type pickups generate a comparatively small voltage, so they also require a preamp to boost the original signal. On my Godin XTSA either my low A or E goes out. Notice that a majority of issues are the low strung.
