Just use a Coca cola.
its pretty much over once a car gets to that stage, even if you give it a 3000 dollar body job , the rust will return. Best advice is buy a newer car and underspray it every summer. Corrosion is like cancer - you need to remove it and protect non-damaged areas against it with undercoatings. Corrosion in a battery compartment can be dramatically reduced by saturating the area with baking soda dissolved in warm water.
There are several alternatives: * salt and water from ocean spray or road salt/water spray * just water + oxygen from the air (dampness accelerates rusting) * fertilizers (as a dust) which contain salts other than NaCl * acids and alkalis (dust or spray) * hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide All these examples are predicated in there being a break in the car's paint to allow wter and chemicals access to the bare metal
The charging system may be over charging the battery. Over charging the battery can speed up the evaporation process. Have the electrical system tested.
The paint forms a seal and prevents water and air from reaching the metal surface and prevents corrosion or rust from forming. A crack in the paint would allow water to reach the metal and cause corrosion or rusting beneath the paint surface, out of sight until the rust becomes visible. A road chip thrown against a car's paintwork is a likely cause of pitting on a car - which spreads and causes rust holes in the car's bodywork unless treated as soon as possible.
VINEGAR TAE AT WATER .. haha
It will help, but a much better solution is to remove the battery cables, clean the connections and then use baking soda to neutralize the corrosion.
Clean it with a mixture of baking soda and water.
A mixture of baking soda and water. Rinse with clean water.
If it is spilled in the trunk, start by mixing baking soda with water and pouring it on the acid spill to neutralize it.
Don't fix it...replace it.
A very thin smear of Copper Grease over the Battery terminal / Cable end will help pevent corrosion.
No, it is battery acid corrosion caused by leaking fumes. Clean it off with water and baking soda which will neutralize the acid.
Baking soda and water. It will neutralize the acid. After removing the acid clean the post with a battery cleaning tool you can buy at any auto parts store.
It was difficult taking the leads off the very old car battery; the buildup of corrosion was extreme.
If there is corrosion on the terminals then you will have a bad connection that will not transfer power from the battery to the starter. It is just like disconnecting the cable. Electrical current cannot flow properly through the corrosion,
My husband said it is caused by the vapor from the battery acid. It is the vapor of the battery acid leaking out of the battery, so the above answer is correct.
Though your alternator is constantly supplying power to your car while it is running, an incomplete circuit could cause your car to 'wind down.' Try pouring some coca-cola onto your battery cables where they connect to the battery to remove all that crud that collects there over time. It works, and looks pretty cool! I love science :D I hope that helps you out.
