Cleaning the 4 pin trailer connector

Just thought Id post a tip about cleaning the electrical connection for your trailers. I found mine to be corroded, so I looked in the shop for a solution to clean... found out that a .22 caliber wire barrel brush to be the perfect solution for getting it shined up... try it, you will be pleased.

Icing on your cake. Apply some dielectric grease once you've got it clean, so it will stay clean.

I like that. Nice and neat and easy. Do you have any suggestions for cleaning the round plug ????? While I'm at it that 's the one I use a lot and need to clean.
