Should be wearing eye protective goggles also. Many a time I have had spray solvents bounce back in my face unexpectedly.

Thank you Very much Sir. I'm happy to have learned an easier way now. I just cleaned the pins on an ECU with alcohol and a Q-tip. It worked but this would have been better

An air compressor with a air gun, canned air for PCs, etc can be used to blast out any debris and excess solvent from connectors. They'll dry even faster and you won't have to worry about bits of debris compromising seals or preventing full reconnection. Regarding corroded connectors, in addition to using wire brushes on male pins, you can also use interdental brushes to clean pin receptacles. Extremely corroded connectors (green stuff) can usually be made much better with an acid scrub. In this case, do not use vinegar as it will attack the rubber seals. Use citric acid instead. It works brilliant on copper, steel, and many other metals, but also does not attack rubber components at all. Just be sure to rinse properly afterward and then use a solvent cleaner to displace water and evaporate quicker.

Would recommend vinegar to be an okay solvant for rust removal on frame, various bolts and nuts? Of course after a dry cleaning with sanding and brushing. I ask because I'm in the middle of cleaning some rust on my car. After the vinegar wash, planned to wash with warm warm water, pat dry with good towel and maybe quickly dry with heat before painting over with a rust incapsulator then primer and paint. Would you do it differently?

@@natenadeau123 I recently did rust remediation on my pickup. I had a fair bit of scale throughout the frame inside and out. I used a pressure washer with turbo nozzle to remove all lifted paint(works brilliantly), a needle scaler to deal with all the scale, various wire brush attachments to a drill, and purple scour discs for the angle and die grinders. Once that was done I went on to degrease, rust conversion using a phosphoric acid based converter, painting, and finally lanolin underbody coating. I was being as thorough as possible but that’s not needed in all cases. It really depends on the extent of corrosion and how long one is looking to protect. In my case, I like to keep my cars for as long as possible so I’m ok with putting in more work and time. Plus I love seeing rust get obliterated.

@@captainotto I just finished (today) doing the same thing, removing rust off frame I discovered after replacing my radiator, thermostat housing, hoses and headlights. The rust was hidden directly under the radiator. Impossible to see unless its removed. I too like to make my vechiles last. Thank you for all the great knowledge. Rock on 🤘

Great video. My oil cooling line popped out from the radiator quick connect port and sprayed oil all over engine and the fan blew it all over the the place now My fuel gauge is acting up and my van cut off . Looks like I'm going to be cleaning everything and the electrical connections.

You can use a pair of needle nose pliers to gently hold connector.

Corroded ones you may want to use a wire brush or a thin piece of sandpaper to light rub off the corrosion. This method will not remove the corrosion, only grease and oil.

Anyone bothered by the fact there was oil all over the outside of every connector even afterwards? Came here to see if it was OK to spray the outside of a camshaft sensor that's coated in oil to try to chase down a leak. Don't even see how you can find an oil leak with that block being that caked and all the sensors still being caked over with motor oil.
