Was trying to clean some nasty crusty RCA jacks today had to find a better way. Figured it would be just as quick or quicker to spin something on the lathe than work a polishing cloth around the jacks. Came up with this:
Put some polish on a rag, put it over the jack, and slip the tool over and twist away. Aluminum and polish = black fingers, hence the electrical tape wrapped around the tool handle. It's not perfect, but it got the job done. Used a pipe cleaner with polish to clean the inner contact surface. Flushed it all with contact cleaner and then used DeOxit Gold.
