oxidation in distributor cap

[spyghost]

hi,

how do you remove the oxidation in the distributor cap contacts? hindi naman grabe ang pag-aasin (namumuti) ng points, pero i wanted it gone. i dont have cracks in the cap. i just wanted the oxidation removed.

is there a way to remove this besides sandpaper method?

after sanding spray it with WD-40. excellent as well in battery terminals. it's a pretty good insulator.

is there a way to prevent this white corrosion?

after spraying WD-40 di na babalik yan.

here are some about WD-40.

What does WD-40 do?

WD-40 fulfills five basic functions:
1. CLEANS: WD-40 gets under dirt, grime and grease to clean. It also dissolves adhesives, allowing easy removal of labels, tape and excess bonding material.
2. DISPLACES MOISTURE: Because WD-40 displaces moisture, it quickly dries out electrical systems to eliminate moisture-induced short circuits.
3. PENETRATES: WD-40 loosens rust-to-metal bonds and frees stuck, frozen or rusted metal parts.
4. LUBRICATES: WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed and tenaciously held to all moving parts.
5. PROTECTS: WD-40 protects metal surfaces with corrosion-resistant ingredients to shield against moisture and other corrosive elements.

Haven't tried to use WD40 on it. However, normally, I use very fine sandpaper on it. Afterwhich, I wipe/clean with dry cloth....

Kung emergency minsan at walang sandpaper,- you can scrape the oxidation off using a flat screwdriver.....
