I use electric motor cleaner which is the same as brake cleaner in most cases. The little wires in the center of the meter are the sensing elements. Just be careful not to bend or break them by touching them very hard.

As long as it dries clean and doesn't contain a lubricant you will be just fine. Sometimes contact cleaners have a lube for cleaning motor contactors. Just spray some on your fingers and see if it leaves an oily film..... no oily film means good to go!

You can get a can of aerosol MAF cleaner at the Auto Parts store for like $3.

Electrical contact cleaner is also good...and likely the exact same thing with a different label.
