Default Should I clean car battery terminals? and if so how?

Its a good idea to prevent future problems. Just remove from the
battery terminal, clean with a wire brush, then put some grease, or
some battery terminal coating on it and your good to go.

If you wash it off, use a baking soda solution to neutralize the acid.

I think it's the reverse: the crud is alkaline. It can be washed off and
neutralized with vinegar or, more easily, with Coca-Cola.
