now alternator is really weak... it can keep the car running but only if everything if off... lights, heater, etc

can the alternator be cleaned and dried or is it shot?

also how is the best stuff for cleaning it out?
 
I would personally spray a few cans of electrical contact cleaner through it. I just had this happen, but the rad hose went right where it attaches to the top. And let it dry, especially if its flammable. I dumped a gallon of water on mine, its all I had and it began charging at higher rpm. It very well could have cooked something though
