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.
I like the idea of the prefab and sealed connector from northern tool that Steve mentioned, but if you go that route I would recommend good quality heat shrinkable butt connectors crimped with the appropriate tool.
A good alternative would be soldering the wires and using adhesive lined heat shrink tubing over the connections.
A third option would be from a company called IPC (Innovative Products Company - bought off our local tool truck) makes excellent terminal cleaning/file kits but they start in the $30-$40 window.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
