I have always started with a baking soda bath and scrub until no more green bubbles using a small stiff bristle plastic or brass brush (pull the 12v power feed fuse first).
Rinse with hot water thoroughly and apply lube/grease/spray of your choice. I have also had success sealing up the back side (where the wires enter) using Star-Brite liquid electrical tape from a can. (Before applying lube)
The cleaning process works wonders on battery terminals and cable clamps too. Usually cleans to nice shiny copper/tin/lead finish without causing additional damage.

A good alternative would be soldering the wires and using adhesive lined heat shrink tubing over the connections.
