Mario,
when changing the pots you have also to change the wires, so you don't have any
trouble calibrating the thing later.
The trick is as follows:
The pedal-pots are only used to a very low percentage of its travel (360 deg.).
Guess from the pedal throw, it's only around 15 deg or so. If you swap the pots,
they utilize another 15 deg of the graphite layer, which is thankfully not the
same with the former used one. So you get new pots for free so-to-say :-)
About that contact cleaners:
I'm biased about this stuff. Too many different compositions, lubricating or
only cleaning, ...
For sure a contact cleaner cannot repair your pot, the improvement is only for a
short time. The damage done by the cleaner to the pot is unclear, what worries
me if I those thingies are not available in the electronic shop 'round the
corner.

BTW:
Kontakt 60 (or alotta other numbers) is sold worlwide. i have it here in my
shelf as Contact 60 :-)
