DeoxIT on tube pins


I remember reading that this is not to be done & only a comprehensive clean using fine grit paper.

What's the general consensus?

Thanks

I use Magic Eraser. Stick the pins into a pad and work them in and out - quick and easy way to get the whole circumference of the pins.
This is a good question. I have some original Telefunken smooth and ribbed plate 12AX7s that have tarnished pins. Does it help to remove that tarnish or just leave it alone? I have magic eraser and ProGold Deoxit.
