best abrasive for maintenance cleaning commutators, slip rings etc
(OP)
Resurrecting an old Winco 110 v generator. The slip rings are smooth, but kind of dark.
For some of their products Winco says re; commutators - "Clean and polish. Use 00 sandpaper and crocus cloth, never emery paper.

On other equipment more similar to mine they say slip rings or collector rings should be smooth and chocolate brown normally and OK. page 6b here, so I'm leaning toward leaving it alone.

curiously, to me, there is some info about automotive generators in days gone by that emery is preferred due to no conductivity. As in plain bearings made of soft materials I figure the abrasive will embed and potentially chew up the other component in the sliding interface, so non-conductivity may be a minor requirement.
