[ARC5] Silver refurbishment

To clarify my issue here, I am dealing with the silver (plated?) bits of some phenolic 
bandswitch wafers which have all turned black....VERY black.

If I decide to use Wright's Sliver Creme, then I have to wash with water, and as I remember 
it, phenolic absorbs water, so I will have to "cook" them (gently) after I have cleaned them.

I DO have DeOxit, both the 5% solution and a very small bottle of the 100% solution, but I am 
reluctant to use it "around RF".

I am going to use the Wright's and then dry the sections as  carefully as I can.

Thanks for the discussion, folks. You all are very helpful.
