Yeah, I should have been a bit more descriptive. The method I was taught is
to clamp a small piece of regular paper (notebook paper, printer paper, etc)
between the contacts and pull on it. If you clamp too tight on the paper it
will tear, but at just the right pressure you can pull the paper through and
see the discoloration as the oxidation and any other build-up on the
contacts wipes off. 

I have heard a pencil eraser can have similar results.
