I would argue that is the point of a contact cleaner, to remove minor
oxidation from older contacts.  It's not something you use every day.
And I agree that it only is a temporary fix for connectors and switches
whose plating has worn through.  

But it is an absolute miracle when dealing with rotary switches and slide
switches on equipment that has been sitting for decades in a damp basement.
Most of those switches have base metal contacts because the scraping action
when they are switched keeps them clean.  But decades of storage can get
them to the point where they can't clean themselves and then Cramolin is
a marvelous thing.
