I am attacking all my ground wires with a vengence and doing the Ultimate
Fix #1 on them.

I have discovered that almost all of them in the engine compartment are crap
and in poor condition.  So now I am SOLDERING new eyelets etc (as per
Ultimate Fixc #1) on all of them.

Question: All the ground wires have this black oxidation crud on them, even
when I strip the insulation off.  I've tried cleaning with a wire brush but
it does a poor job.  Is there a better technique or goop that I can use to
clean up the copper before soldering?

Thanks.
