Surface Oxidation: Wiping

I'm working on a project that is a mechanical switch of sorts, and it entails running electrical signals through Phosphor-Bronze contacts. Now since *all* alloys will oxidize to an extent, I was wondering if I were to wipe the phosphor-Bronze contacts with the same material(Phosphor-Bronze), would that be serve to keep the alloy's surface clean? (The wiping action will be part of the mechanics of the switch). Thanks. Darren Harris Staten Island, New York.
