I was wondering if there was any good product that will clean the corrosion from some of my quick connections on my bike. I am about at the point of taking a small pipe cleaner and doing it. Every thing works at random on it... :huh:

I use electrical cleaner from the hardware store. Just pray it on and forget it. It's very volatile and cleans like the dickens..;)

Years ago I was cleaning the nasty battery cables on my 55 Buick. My mother walked up and saw what I was doing, she walked into the house and came out with a couple glasses of water, she handed me one and said "pour a little this on them". I thought she was crazy but did it. The cable started foaming and bubbling and she gave me the other glass after a few seconds and said "now pour this on them", that cup rinsed all the foam off and it was nice shiny copper wire and a shiny, clean lead terminal. Turns out the first cup had plain baking soda stirred into the water the second cup was plain water. Now when I get any corrosion on wires I spray them with soda water, rinse them with a spray of plain water, put some grease on them and they are good as new.
Just a Memorial Day thought.
Thanks Mom.

Also, consider using dielectric grease when reassembling electrical connections, as this helps waterproof the connection and prevent corrosion. :)
