[Amps] Ham sells fine grit thing to clean contacts

[Roger (K8RI)]

Crocus cloth is "I believe" jewelers rouge on a backing, but be 
careful.  Some "cloth" is more abrasive than the abrasive.  Bond paper 
with just enough deoxit to wet the paper.  There have been several good 
alternatives posted.

I used to have one of the diamond dressing tabs.  Generally, an abrasive 
use is for the last resort cases.
