Electronic contact cleaner that's safe for plastics.

Canned air and maybe a Q-tip. These fibers are not as finicky as real fiber optic cables used in data transmission which are measured in microns. Lol I once found a cut most in my 335 and used just the outer jacket of a red buttsplice to fix it. I cut both ends with a hot razor blade. These fibers are like little tykes fibers, all thick n shit.

Spray it on a q-tip and carefully clean it, you can use Isopropyl alcohol also.
The MOST connection usually doesn't need maintenance. Just give it a good duster spray so there isn't much dirt/dust. For the plastic/metal pins, use a spray contact cleaner to keep them from oxidizing.

Thanks all! I had super loud static coming thru the speakers suddenly when the car was parked with door open. I disconnected the amp MOST cable and it went away. Replugged the MOST and no more static, so I thought it might be a dirty MOST or something. Will try out your tips above.
