thanks...I'll be going to the store in an hour...so I eagerly await whatever help you guys can give me.
Yes you can use toothpaste on the cart contacts. But it's best to take the cart apart, otherwise you'll get toothpaste inside the cart.

"First I use straight toothpaste by rubbing it in with my fingers until the toothpaste turns dark. Then I wet the toothbrush and start brushing away at it. After I feel it has been cleaned off well I rinse the contacts off and brush until the suds go away. Finally I polish it off with a cotton towel. You'd be amazed how clean it gets. And toothpaste is always around and cheap."

Just make sure everything is nice and dry when you are done, I use a hair dryer sometimes if I accidently got some of the chips wet.

I guess one of these days I'll post a video of a before cleaning - during cleaning - and after cleaning - problem is: All of my carts have been cleaned already!

I don't know how it compares to Brasso personally. I have not use Brasso not even once in my entire life, but I know it's THE best tarnish remover. I just don't know - are the contacts Brass?
