Default Cleaning the MAF?

I'm sitting at the computer w/ MAF... I'm putting the screen back on (I think that's the cause, thanks Ob)

What's the proper way to clean it... Can I buff the tunnel w/ a dremel?

if you just have the tunnel and the electrical part is out you can use what ever you like a fine grit wet sand paper would work fine. after you get the tunnel clean and assemble the rest make sure that the "hot wires" are intact and clean. if you must clean them use a light mist of electrical contact cleaner

brake cleaner - it leaves no residue. carb cleaner is a no-no

DO NOT USE A DREMEL OR SANDPAPER!!!!!!! POLISHING THE INSIDE WOULD BE RECOMMENDED
