Just be warned that the little bits that fly off with the wire brush are
acid that will water activate. If they hit your clothes, you will have
all these little holes after wash day.

They actually sell a battery cleaning tool. It has a round wire brush
on one end for doing the clamp's hole and a hollow donut shaped wire
brush for the post. Not expensive and really handy.

I drench the area with water from a garden hose afterwards. You are quite
right that this stuff is acid. It is not good for paint either.
