vinegar and salt should make quick work of it... neutralize with baking soda
or just rinse really well. don't leave them overnight or you won't have any
wire left, just rub it in and wipe off the crud.

Got some dirty, corroded stranded #14 copper antenna wire I need to
solder/splice. Limb fell across my antenna during Rita. I need to clean
off the ends before soldering. What common household product(s) can I put
the ends in overnite to get 'em shiny and ready to solder?
