I would not, because you may effect the capacitance of the sections and effect alignment and tracking.
Getting it on/in the trimmer sections is a big no-no.

Unless you are storing this set in a high humidity and wide temp range loaction, once cleaned I would just take q-tips with Deix-it and lightly wipe down the stator and rotor plates with light film. DO NOT DO THIS IN THE TRIMMERS.

Deox-it leaves a non-corroding film behind when it evaporates.
