Battery corrosion is caused by sulfuric acid.
Vinegar is also an acid, you dont neutralize an acid with another acid, if left on, it will cause more corrosion. Vinegar can technically dissolve some buildup but no way advised by any manufacturer or heavy duty applications which cannot neutralize battery acid, you need a base, hence baking soda which stops the chemical reaction.
Vinegar can also enter the battery casing which can distort the chemical balance if it enters the battery and will also void your warranty. You dont neutralize an acid with an acid and it will cause corrosion on any metal/copper part and possibly accelerate corrosion.
Also never use compressed air to clean the battery as well cause it can cause static electricity and cause the battery to explode in some rare cases, especially in HD applications as in the CAT manual.
Also using a Q-tip is not recommended; it could actually spread some of the acid on the case creating a shunt between the terminals leading to parasitic draw on your battery. Sorry but that is terrible advice and people upvoting that as the top comment proves that majority of people on any subject is ill informed.
And while some might assume you would apply this grease directly to the terminals, then tighten them on, its actually the otherway around like drow said. After cleaning and rinsing the terminals (and drying), assemble/tighten the terminals and then apply the grease on the outside.
This way the grease is protecting from the outside elements, and not getting in the way of the important metal-to-metal contact the terminals need.
