Clean all the connecters and re-rap them with the correct harness wrap (Eastwoods,Yearone)and they will look great.

Stick with common paint thinner (mineral spirits) or denatured alcohol. Straight Simple Green works pretty good also.

Straight Simple Green works pretty good also. I used Simple Green for as much as I could, then LT for stubborn paint overspray and super dirty areas. As suggested, use LT only when necessary as it's a strong solvent.
