Answer 7

two ways...coca-cola (i know people will disagree with me) or baking soda with a small bit of water. with either of these, get a small brush, (i use an old toothbrush) and clean the terminals with the brush and the coca-cola or baking soda/water AFTER the fizzing has stopped.

Answer 8

You can pour a soda on it or scrub it with a brush and baking soda.

Answer 9

coke does work really well (just make sure to rinse it off) or they have stuff at auto parts stores thatll take it right off too..

Answer 10
