Re: cleaning contacts.  From my model railway interests, the best cleaner is
a 10% solution of phosphoric acid which is used as a cleaner/flux for
soldering.  If you wash it off with water and let it dry then it should
provide a perfect surface for your Dielectric Compound.  I'd guess the best
source are electronics shops or hobby shops.
