I have a copper pipe that has a good coating of green corrosion from a
slow water leak. Its about 5' so I would prefer to not struggle with
emory cloth or steel wool to get it clean. Is there a magic solution
of something that will remove it? Or do I just need to use some elbow
grease or a drill/wire brush?


Try vinegar or (believe it or not) Coke. Same technique as corroded battery
terminals.


Interesting idea. I'll try it. Diet or regular? :-)
