DeoxIT on tube pins

I remember reading that this is not to be done & only a comprehensive clean using fine grit paper.

What's the general consensus?

Thanks
Rich

The main thing is the clean any residue off. That is it. I personally would NEVER use sandpaper! or emery cloth at all. never... never.
