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.


A good contact cleaner followed by a switch lubricant - will help prevent
corrosion later. Servisol or Electrolube for the latter.

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