Corrosion issues
Just recently started having severe corrosion build up occuring on the positive cable from the battery. Changed out the terminals and still happening. Any ideas?

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Coca Cola, Warm water and baking soda, or they have a spray that dissolves that stuff. Then get that anti corrosion shit like everyone says and spray it on after its cleaned.

I usually put some petroleum jelly on the terminals after cleaning them, that prevents corrosion.1993 Honda Accord EX-R Coupe Granada Black Pearl

No more corrosion
I cleaned my terminals using a corrosion dissolver, sprayed it off with water after it did its wonders, dried the terminals off, put little fabric washers that you can get from schucks, then I sprayed the posts and terminals with a anti-corrosion sealant.
Oh the fact that its corroding in the first place is either battery acid leaking, overcharging, or your not grounded enough.Comment
