wire wool (steel wool?)
strip the insulation, bunch the wool round it, grasp and pul, repeat until the wire shines.
simple :)
or buy new, non-cruddy wire and replace :)

Subject: VECTOR: Soldering crusty wires
Working on repairing a choped wiring harness. Striped off the insulation on a couple of the wires and they are brown with oxidation. No way in hell I can get the solder to do anything other than roll off and land on my leg (possibly burning through my pants on the way :)
Anyone have a trick to clean this stuff off well enough to solder?
I am using standard 60/40 rosin core solder.
Thanks,
David
