Message	Hey Folks. Pictured below is the A/C compressor connector from my original '93 EFI harness which I'll be retaining and splicing onto my brand new '95 harness. As you can see its really nasty (as is its mate on the compressor end). What do you guys recommend to effectively and safely clean a bad connector like this? Inzane
