Go to your local automotive store and get some contact cleaner. There are n=
umerous brands the clerk could probably recommend one based in part on whet=
her the contacts are electroplated. WD40 makes some with a nice flip up noz=
zle. Wear goggles.

Good day to all.

My buddy is rebuilding a pair of elderly BMW motorcycles dating from=20
the early 70's.  He is looking for a contact cleaner that he can use=20
to clean / enhance the various wiring harness connectors.  That is:=20
pull the connector from whatever device the harness is connected to,=20
spray both the plug and receptacle, re-assemble.  Possibly spray in a=20
dielectric grease before re-assembling.

I'm not sure what to suggest for him to use.  In days long gone, I'd=20
be thinking of the Tuner Wash that one used on old television=20
channel-change turret tuners.  I don't know what to suggest in these=20
modern times.

These connectors are NOT corroded or damaged.  Rather, this is an=20
attempt to ward off future problems.

Suggestions gratefully accepted.

Many thanks!
