Most electrical contacts are plated with an alloy that resists corrosion. This plating is very thin, and if you scrape it with an abrasive you will damage or destroy it, and the underlying metal (usually copper) will no longer be protected. This will subsequently corrode in short order, and the connection problem will quickly return, worse than before.
Which one works better? Whale oil or kerosene?
