How do You Clean the Contacts of a 580?

The manual suggests that it tells me on page 9, but I don't see it there.

Also, would I use the same method and products to clean the camera's shoe?

Thanks.

I would just "ever so slightly" wet a cloth and rub the flash foot and hotshoe contacts briskly.

No need to make this more difficult.

Enjoy! Lon

They are just some fat spring loaded contacts. And it just composed of some 5 chunk pieces of metal. So even if you use a grinder to clean it, it'll still works ( I'm serious, but don't try though). So just wipe it down. and make sure that it makes contact with the camera's hotshoes.
