I am attacking all my ground wires with a vengence and doing the Ultimate Fix #1 on them. I have discovered that almost all of them in the engine compartment are crap and in poor condition. So now I am SOLDERING new eyelets etc (as per Ultimate Fixc #1) on all of them. Question: All the ground wires have this black oxidation crud on them, even when I strip the insulation off. I've tried cleaning with a wire brush but it does a poor job. Is there a better technique or goop that I can use to clean up the copper before soldering? Thanks.
