On other electrical contacts (think old car ignitions or Lionel trains) I have used very fine wet/drywihtout incident as well as an ignition file but I think Franke is right that if you can access the contacts you are cleaning with a fine metal file that is probably best. But as I noted the fixed contacts in the widow switch are recessed and hard to get at with a file. At least with the ignition file I have. --Bob
Edited for ya.....
As Franke and Scottfab suggest, the best method to clean electrical contacts would be with the use of a contact file or a pencil eraser. Not a pen eraser but a pencil eraser. It is an extremely fine rubbing compound.

An Excellent step by step write up...appreciate it
