Why is there white, crusty buildup on my MX-5 Miata’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your MX-5 Miata, it's likely corrosion.

How do I clean a corroded MX-5 Miata battery terminal?

Regularly inspect the terminals and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water, a wire brush, and a rag. Disconnect the battery cables before cleaning to help avoid the risk of electrical shock. Always reference and follow the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual prior to disconnecting the battery cables.
