Under dash wiring fusebox cleanup advice?

I got a used underdash harness with fuse block, but the fuse terminals all have some rust/corrosion on them. My wife bought me a Dremel kit for my b-day last week so I was thinking of using some contact cleaner on them first, then use the Dremel to finish them up. Any ideas?

Thanks.

after that, put a very very very light layer of 3n1 oil on the contacts.

use dielectric grease all over the fusebox. i bought a crate of harness' at the swap meet with similar rust on the best one. i coated it after the wirebrush and havent had a problem. my dad capsized our ranger bassboat 3 years ago. the grease has stopped corrosion on all of the electrical connections on it. i have been surprised at how well the stuff works.
