Have been Googling the proper way to clean plated electrical contacts
but either get nothing if use " or a lot of nonrelevant hits without.

Am interested in any suggestions esp how to remove the nonconductive
oxides.

If a connector is too damaged would also be interested in what are
considered the best type replacement.

Thanks

Gene

Assuming not sputter damaged contacts, otherwise good underlying surfaces.
I use a nylon cable tie, introduced with the contacts in contact. In a
filing action with the ratchet part of the nylon, then turn upside down and
repeat
