Dialectric grease on battery terminals; car won't start.
OK, dummy me. Yesterday I noticed the positive battery terminal on the 1984 300DT was corroded. So, I take off the terminals wires and spray battery cleaner along and used a battery post wire brush to clean them up. I then get the bright idea to use dialectric grease to try and prevent further corrosion. BAD MOVE!!! When I realized my mistake, I tried using Simple Green cleaner to remove the dialectric grease. I thought I had removed all of it, but perhaps not.
I've had the car on the battery charger all night; it now shows fully charged. That said, the engine will barely turn over and doesn't spin the engine fast enough to start. Any ideas on what I could use to completely clean the dialectric grease from the battery terminals? Any help is appreciated.
