Oh yeah, and I live in a condo and don’t have a garden hose, so I just filled a jug with water to do this.
I did this. It works great. I was worried about needing to disconnect a battery or something before cleaning it, but you just pour it on, scrub it a little, rinse if off – and I used paper towels to wipe away the excess water. My car started right up and everything runs great. Thanks!
This is a great video. I didn’t know it was as easy as water, baking soda, and a toothbrush.
I did this and it works. My car wouldn’t start so I bought a new battery. Then after watching this video I cleaned the old one, reinstalled it and it worked fine!
