A little too well, as it had an insulating effect and now there's an iffy connection whenever the car tries to draw current

Good thing I invested in a jump pack so I don't get stranded until I can fix it lol

like a wire stripper to just cut the ends off and replace them? that's probably what I'll do, I had to do that on my Miata

Could have just used some coca cola

nah, I did it all proper and used baking soda and water. I still wanna get the terminal clamps off though so I can really clean it

oh err, I meant for the battery terminals on the battery itself. a wire toothbrush *NOTE do not use this to remove plaque from your teeth you will regret it* for the wire ends that connect to the battery terminals

oh, a little paint stripper. way ahead of you, I got that and a grungy toothbrush. the problem is the corrosion is pretty deep in there and the terminal clamps are rusty and seized so I can't pull them off

I want to "appropriate" some BG battery terminal pads from work and throw those on there too
