    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.

    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.....
