I use a Dremel tool with a brass wire brush to get into the fuse 
contacts and clean them off. You need to get all the oxidation off so 
you don't drop too much voltage in the fuse box.

CLR kitchen cleaner works well to clean on copper and brass.  Also 
vinegar with salt mixed in.

I often use Spray Nine for tasks like this. It is a very degreaser and also
cleans the contacts like vinegar does.
I always have a spray bottle close at hand.

Interesting, I’ve been using either Castrol super clean or simple green.  Is there any significant difference with spray nine in price, effectiveness or ingredients?
