RE-COAT - repair the surface.
Clear high temperature paint is often used in alternators and starter motors to isolate windings from other parts of the the machinery.
I guess varnish would do the same.
I have the sudden urge to try to repair the surface of this spare part with a bit of yacht varnish.
However before I do that perhaps someone here (perhaps an electrickery genius?) has a better idea?

Is not the "rubbing up against it" action one of making contact with a resistance? When the wiper is moved along the resistor, the resistance value changes with the position of the wiper.
If an insulating material (varnish or the like) is applied to the contact surface, there will no longer be contact and conductivity between the wiper and the resistor.
