Sooooo I decided to clean the corrosion off the Battery terminals... Easy fix right? Well it should have been except I managed to cause a bolt to go flying into the air and into the engine somewhere. I was thinking why can't a simple task just be easy! I was already annoyed I paid 6.81 at Napa for a stupid wire brush and now this! I searched my home for a replacement bolt settle for a screw that is a little bit to long but least it fits for now til I get a replacement! Lesson learned though what ever you do don't tap it to loosen corrosion your bolt may go flying into the air never to be found again. Also make sure to use Battery No Corrode Gel... works wonders! Thanks for reading!

what works great. COKE! not the powder... anyways. it dissolves all the green and white really good. and also tooth paste. then dielectric grease works great too. smear it all over and no problems.

baking soda and water works. any soda works its the acid in soda that gets rid of it. same reason why pouring left over soda in toilet and letting it sit will clean it.
