Acid build up around battery terminals??

Whats the best and safes way to removed the acid build up around the battery terminals?? Thanks in advance

 

Idk what the "real" way to do it but before I replaced my battery I had corrosion/ acid buildup too

I diluted baking soda in a cup of water and used it on on terminal at a time, then thoroughly rinsed the engine bay

neutralized the acid

a can of coke will work also

 

i used the baking soda trick too....just let it site then clean it off

 

The spray can stuff is red right? I need some of this for my terminals after seeing some on a RV's batterys.

 

i agree with hossmaster. The red BPC is the best stuff and works damn good.

 

All of the above. ^^^

 

For information on battery corrosion removal and prevention, please Section 3.3 in the Car and Deep Cycle Battery FAQ on www.batteryfaq.org.

 

Get a free sample of Fluid Film (off this site) That stuff works AMAZINGLY!!

 

After you remove the build up try the "Penny trick" (Link check last paragraph).

 

THIS. Screw all those backyard ways of doing it. "Add Dr. Pepper mixed with Vinegar!" Use Rubbing Alcohol mixed with Peroxide! " Mix Bubble Gum with Milk!"

Do it the right way.
