CRC makes a MAF specific cleaner available (only place I've been able to find it) at PepBoys. Brake cleaner would be bad to clean it with (oily), electrical cleaner better

Close but no cookie. Brake clean is a little less aggressive as there are rubber parts in the brake system. Carb cleaner does a number on the rubber parts rather quickly in my experiences.
