Great video, using a plastic safe contact cleaner and following up with isopropyl alcohol is the way to go. Isopropyl alcohol is widely used in avionics. After cleaning we are required to perform a no go test. You have great attention to detail.
Dave could you make a video showing how you de pin connectors. Thats something I really struggle with and would be useful to check some female pins for serious water corrosion.
Top job there Dave, look as good as new after your magic , as always attention to detail, was Poppy going to look down the back of the sofa fir your change that's fallen out of your pockets after a wee bit of dancing 👍😉
I noticed that descaler doese an excellent job in removing oxidation. However you do have to clean very well afterwards because is highly electric conductive.
White vinegar works extremely well. Follow it up with baking soda in isopropyl alcohol to neutralize the acid from the vinegar. And finish the job with Deoxit.
White vinegar is not recommended as will tarnish the electroplated contacts, will attack plastics, dissolve rubber grommets and melt insulation. The guy in the video is showing what he uses and shows the results without vinegar. Deoxit is a brand of electrical contact cleaner similar to what is shown in the video

Great video! What is the tool you're using that seems to dry up the wetness?

Great demonstration Dave. Certainly showed some helpful tips.
Great job Dave, it take quite a bit of time to get them as good as that. Well done 👏👍
Cheers Peter, a few bits of the video are sped up but aside from that it's unedited time wise
@@davesterl is it the Brera ? After the water ingress at tail light
@@kennedysgarage3281 yeah, water under the carpet. The connectors are the electric seats
@@davesterl maintaining it well Dave
Great job Dave well done 👍🎶
Nice job there Dave they came up well
Wow. A video that doesn't use baking soda and vinegar. Thank you sir! Just what I was looking for.
Yes, do not use baking soda and vinegar
Why not?

Dave could you make a video showing how you de pin connectors. Thats something I really struggle with and would be useful to check some female pins for serious water corrosion.
i could but as you know some are easier than others, so the connectors i have around my not cover everything
or white vinegar .. brush ... isopropyl alcohol air line .. dielectric grease
Great Detail Dave ,like the File...and Make up brush ..
.I use Deoxit..D5 ...works well for me ...Enjoyed the Video 👍
Thanks 👍
Would you put any sort of grease etc in there to prevent it happening again ,,obviously from new they don’t ?
i put a wee taste of silicon grease around the body of the connector
@@davesterl that’s funny because I do the same with scooter plugs to stop the water ingress a little.
Great minds think alike……😉
What about the female contacts? How do you clean them?

Lol Mike, she doesn't know what she's worth. She got a few quid from the Amazon shop
I was wondering when the lipstick was going to arrive 😁 lovely job
😄
Any ideas on how to disconnect them once the corrosion doesn't let them come apart?
spray electric cleaner in wire ends and wiggle wiggle.
big country , restless natives soundtrack, niceeee
Top marks, Stuart!

Does any1 know why this happens in the 1st place?
