Coca-Cola has carbonated water which is AKA carbonic acid.  I'd drink the Coke and use the vinegar on the wire.

Common household vinegar will do it also. You must soak the end to be cleaned overnight.

Oxidized stranded is more of a problem to clean and re-use if you want to solder it. I suppose an acid bath of some sort might work - never tried it.
