That "black stuff" is not dirt, it is the graphite required to make electrical contact. Remove it all, and your remote won't ever work.

Try some of this: http://www.amazon.com/CaiKote-Kit-sw...pad+repair+kit

I've never had to redo the contacts a second time after using this product.

I honestly was thinking about using Slip-plate, applied with a cotton swab.
That is, on one that is beyond help.
If I do try to clean one, I use rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. I clean the PC board thoroughly, but just touch the coating on the buttons, with the tip of the swab.
