   Adjustable automotive battery cable clamps get that white stuff on them.

   On my generator, I have removable clamps so that I can swap and recharge   
   batteries outside of the generator making all that noise & smell.   
      
   I just want to periodically soak the clamps (they're separate items) that I   
   bought from the auto parts store in the right chemical to remove the   
   corrosion.   
      
   What is that whiteish substance, chemically, anyway?   
   What chemical can I soak the adjustable clamps in that will remove it.
