oxidation (green) on braided wire.

does anyone have a good way to remove the green oxidation off of you rear window defogger wires? Is there something that will disolve it off?

thanks,
phil

I would imagine any brass or copper cleaner would work. I wonder why they're green though, I've never seen green defroster wires.

The plastic covering on the braided wires that attach to the window connectors have cracked and fell off. The braided wires underneath have oxidized and are greenish.

A little baking soda and water works good for gfs(green fuzzy stuff) on the battery. Should work there too. Use a brush if you have too.
