Start with a little steel wool, or a brillo pad, and get most of the green and white corrosion off the metal. Then vacuum out the excess metal fibers and soap residue.

Make a small batch of white vinegar and a liberal amount of table salt. Zap it in the microwave for a few seconds to get it warm, then stir until most of the salt is dissolved.

Apply this mixture to any metal parts that exhibits corrosion, and let stand for one minute. Rinse with tap water and dry thoroughly.

That should do it. Ugh i remember When i found my stampede at goodwill it had 6 Corroded D Batteries inside of the Tray No Wonder it stopped working so Quickly
