For the record I did use the search option and was unsuccessful searching

What can I use to clean up my terminals for the electrical connections in my 914? Somewhere I had read something about dielectric grease but I'm thinking I need to clean the terminals first.

Thanks for your help

Google "electronic contact enhancer" I use Stabilant 22 ($$$$!, available at GM dealers), but there are a lot of good ones out there.

The Cap'n

I've used these for 40 years.

Still have the original one. Mine has diamond strips with different grits and came with ~10 strips in the handle.. Once you've cleaned chemically, then with bronze and SS brushes, then start polishing with this. Polish is a way to reduce surface area (against oxygen) and is a corrosion fighting system as well.

Not the harsh file-oriented cleanup but this is where you build in further problems, assuming you're not pushing too much current through the connector.

Good luck

Like the Cap'n says, that or "electrical contact cleaner", which used to be (maybe still are) carbon tetra-chloride. I've used different brands, they all seem to work, in a small can-high price.

This works good and you can get it at HD:

I recently cleaned my ground points on the car (scrub them down until you see the shiny brass under all that crap.

Then I sprayed all of the parts with the contact cleaner and put it back together.
