Out of curiosity, I've been reading some how-tos online, and I was surprised to see some people recommending isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, which I always thought was a big no-no (my old instruction manuals always said not to use solvents of any kind on the contacts).
I've also read some people championing Brasso metal polish, which I've never tried, but that does seem promising.
Pencil erasers was another surprising one I saw and tried, and it worked fairly well on minor build-up, although you have to be careful to clean up the little eraser bits afterwards so you don't get any of those into your console/handheld.
Spit on Kleenex (and then wiped dry immediately afterwards) has always been my lazy, go-to solution since I was a kid.
What do you usually use and what do you recommend avoiding?
