Default Rusty EBCM connections

I recently sent off my EBCM to get refurbished by autoecu and while it was getting fixed the prongs that fit into the back of the EBCM picked up some surface rust. Am i able to take a wire brush to this so I can recieve a good connection when re-installing the part? Any advice on this would be much appreciated. Trying to go out of town today. Bad luck as always.

I'd use a toothbrush and a product called Corrosion Block. You can find it at most marine supply stores or do a google search. Whatever you do stay away from dielectric grease.

Is there any alternative to the corrosion block spray? Also, why stay away from dielectric grease? Just curious. Thanks
