Sadly I promise you, it won't last. If you've arrived at the point where the contacts need 'cleaning', then they were never actually dirty at all. You'll find them burnt, and pitted. The factory item has little spark-supresssion, so you're on borrowed time.

'Cleaning' what can't be cleaned because it's been burnt away can't not truly fix it.

"Cleaning' just gives it a quick-fix and then speeds the final demise.
