Cleaning with Deoxit (any Deoxit) is not a very good idea. All of them are conductive.
Take stiff (used) toothbrush and dry (99%) isopropyl alcohol. Clean out well, to remove the Deoxit remnants.
I've seen that thing spark when getting in between high voltage.
I see a lot of some residue on those panels, it needs to be cleaned well.
About the heatshrink: yes, it is a good thing but is easily punctured with tinned wire. Make sure you trim the wires, especially the sharp sticking out ends in close proximity to the heatshrink (and otherwise to unrelated wires). From the pictures at these angles I cannot tell if there are areas of concern (like in the 1st pic the strands on the right are almost touching that ground lug), but you are there, so inspect it well.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
