I use isopropyl alcohol, but I am kind of surprised to hear about total submersion. For some reason I would have never thought that would be fine, but I suppose it is sealed...

I usually use isopropyl alcohol on the contacts.  I would think that something like Windex would work well to clean the plastic parts.

Hmm,  I wonder of Windex would discolor the plastic eventually.

Lol, make a test. But why using  possibly aggressive stuff, when there is known unaggressive available, which does the same job?

A small amount of hydrochloric acid will quickly remove any minor blemish on a HuCARD, console, controller, etc.
