Best Way to Clean Ground Straps?

Post by w30bob »

HI Guys,

Anybody come up with an easy way to clean those braided ground straps? I haven't tried anything yet, hoping someone already figured out the answer. My first guess is going to be a soak in Purple Power and then a shot with the powerwasher.

regards,

Bob,

I set mine in the parts washer and let it run for a while to loosen the crud up, then carb cleaner to blast it from the braiding and the air hose to finish up.
