Didn't forget this one Frank,
remember my tech folks on OAK switches cleaned even coin silver clips this
way.
But when building for navy , the closer (very much) inspections revealed
particles embedded in the relatively soft gold,
thus creating grit in between on slide points (wearing the gold down fast);
and decided to reserve the rubbing rubbers for civilians and cloth for the
rest .
Than the cloth gradually won over, as slipped over toothpick or sheet of
plastic it got into places nothing else would .
If yo ever cleaned a dozen wafer OAK, yo know what i mean .
Naturlich, above does not apply to fingers in such an extend as with
rotaries .

Yes, the alcohol wipes are good (drivin' to work after a bloody fast shave)

Paul,

You might find this a bit amusing; however, we have found a regular #2
pencil eraser to work best. Afterwards a diluted 10:1 alcohol wipe and they
are good to go...
