    Here's how I did the battery terminals.

    Clean and prep with the wire brush. Spray and install terminal protector. Simple as that.

    Same people that pay over $50 for a cabin air filter change.

    Cabin air filter change and battery terminal cleaning services. I'd make a killing.

    Good stuff.

    I usually inspect the terminals during each oil change. That's about every 4-5 months.
