Anyone know a good way to "de-gunkify" CP buttons and sticks?

About 6 months ago I picked up a fully working 3 player cab, with every intention of stripping it down and rebuilding it into a MAME cab.  Unfortunately, due to time and space constraints, I have decided to sell it or maybe donate it to a church summer camp.  Only problem is, some of the buttons stick quite bad.  Does anyone out there have any quick hints on how to get these buttons/switches working like new again?  I wouldn't feel right selling or donating a game that only works "some of the time", but dont want to drop any $ on new buttons + switches.  Thanks  :)

Disassemble the buttons first though, and don't wash the microswitches.

I've never had an issue washing the microswitches.

There is no point to it. Besides, water can get into them and cause corrosion.
