I have an NMO magmount which has a bit of corrosion on the threads and the part
where the antenna makes contact. The threads of the antenna also are a bit
corroded. Can anyone recommend a good cleaner/method to remove this corrosion?

I used steel wool and WD-40. It really works great.

I'd just stop at the grocery or hardware store and pick up a can of
Brasso. Shined up my old brass military buckles very nicely, and
should do a fine job on whatever metal your antenna is made of.

It removes the corrosion very easily with a rag, and doesn't harm the
skin.
