What you have pictured will clean the contacts. This will usually clear up the issue for the very short term. That type of product is what I started with on my first dial issue. It would make it better for a day or two tops. I suspect oxidation then occurred and I was back to a non working dial. That’s when I gave dialectic grease a shot. I am familiar with using it in marine electrical connections where corrosion is a real problem.
I stress to do your own homework though. I have had great success, but you will find other forum posts from camera repair forums that say not to do this because the dialectic grease could creep to undesirable places. Instead they say take it to a repair shop and have it fixed the right way. In our case, these cameras are not really serviceable any more, so I am willing to take that risk. So far, no issues.
