Try Noxon Brass cleaner.We used it in the firehouse all the time. I do not know if it will work w/o rubbing but give it a try. Buy a small bottle first. Let us know1
Rather than use CRC which is dielectric, try Peco Electrolube, a lubricant which conducts electricity well.
I have always found silver soder using lots of flux.It usually works pretty well.
Good Luck

if its just high resistance try useing grafite grease,it helps to make a better contact.ps wipe off any exess to stop any shorting.
