Hello sano888,
A brass bristle brush is ideal for cleaning exposed switch terminals. "Polishing" them is overkill. Just expose clean brass or metal of the pins and you are good to go.
The female connector pins are tricky because they tend to spread a little over time. Usually, a fine pick tool or a jeweler's screwdriver is used to tighten them back up gently.
Some people do not realize that die electric grease in non-conductive and if the female pins are too loose, proper contact becomes questionable. People often slobber that stuff into connections to help keep moisture out and prevent future corrosion, but it will cause problems if the pins are not properly checked first.
