  A rotary wire brush in a battery-operated Dremel tool polishes them
well, if you can get the tool to the work.  If you go thru the coating
you can re-tin the connectors with a soldering iron.  Er, if you can get
at them...;^)

  I wonder if any of the metal polishes - silver, copper, etc. - would
work without leaving a harmful residue.
