Assuming you use a dremel with a wire brush to clean the plugs, you can do the same thing to the cap. My cap's resistance from contact to plug connector was over 10K ohms before I cleaned them off - then they were the spec 1100 ohms.

The rotor does wear down, though - cleaning it will just increase the gap.
