I am cleaning up the electric wiring of my 2 cars (69 Alfa Spider Veloce and 60 Buick Electra).
Here is a picture of the worst piece (fuse box from electra) but I find this a bit everywhere on my cars when I bought them (probably sat outside for long periods).
The contacts are badly corroded and seem to have peeling shiny material. I am losing some kind of plating.
How do I clean these up ?
Sand/file through to bare metal ?
How do I keep it from corroding again ? Is it necessary to replate ?
I have heard everything from vinegar to baking soda as miracle solutions to clean it !
Thanks to all for any good idea............
