Default fuse corrosion

Had problems today with intermitent radio/interior light.
For the first time I checked the fuses,and found them all coated with a white oxide.I cleaned every fuse,and and circuit breaker terminal and holder using emery cloth and CRC electronic cleaner.
Solved that problem and more.
No more flickering dash lights,Which I figured was a bad ground that I was going to address anyway.Crappy 86E windows are going up and down a touch faster.
And you know,it might be my imagination,but I think the damn thing runs better too!
The Tach stays steady,and the engine seems to run smoother,is that possible?
Well,maybe it is my imagination,but I dont think so. Atleast all the lamps are brighter,and not flickering.
