Battery Post Corrosion....Prevention?
I've been having a bit of a problem with battery post corrosion on all my cars. I'll pop the cables and take a wire brush to the terminals but it seems to come back. Is there something I'm not doing? Coating the terminals with ?????? Thanks in advance

I kept getting a greenish corrosion that kept returning no matter what I used. I tried cleaning with baking soda then coating with vaseline, dielectric grease, and regular automotive grease. Nothing would keep it away for any length of time until I bought a can of CRC Terminal Cleaner and a can of CRC Battery Terminal Protector. Not a hint of corrosion for about six months now.

My dad swears to those terminal rings made of felt. He used those and applied generic terminal anti-corrosion gel on the terminals and connectors when he bought his car in 1995. No corrosion whatsoever for 250,000 miles.

I usually clean, apply dielectric grease on the inside of the terminal end and on the terminal, then install, and apply a battery terminal protector. Never had this problem on any of my cars, not a bad idea to reapply the protector/ clean and reapply every oil change.
