I obtained a small tube of DeoxIT D100 and despite the package statement, it wouldn't remove oxidation, at least not from copper.
Find an old penny. Put a bit of vinegar. It dissolves the copper oxide and becomes shiny. Try the same with DeoxIT. NOTHING!
So, it doesn't remove oxidation and plated contacts typically are plated of a material that do not oxidize, so how exactly does the DeoxIT magic work?
You might want to ask in rec.audio.pro
There's many ppl there who recommend it. It's about more than removing oxidation I think.

It will remove the oxidation on the penny - be patient. It may take overnight. It is non aggressive to metals - it is formulated to remove oxidation and more importantly improve the signal transfer. I found this description the most informative on how it works. I use it on everything - electrical connections, that is. Not worth the time for pennies, (-:
