Polishing 2600 toggle switches?

[SlowCoder]

I thought about using a fine sandpaper. If I did, I'm sure it would shine up nice. But what to do to keep the oxidation of the newly exposed metal down?

 

Other options?

Silicon spray, let dry, wipe.

Polishing 2600 toggle switches?

 

They're slide switches, not toggle switches (a toggle switch's lever pivots inside the switch body, while a slide... slides).

 

Any clear durable spray product should keep corrosion at bay for a while. Krylon Triple Thick may have an edge in durability.

I just use 0000 Steel Wool. Spin a piece around a switch a few times and it looks as good as new!

Hey trem, not that I disagree with you, but why would you, when advising the use of steel wool, provide a picture of shredded wheat biscuits???

I ended up using a green Scotch scouring pad and it worked great.
