Fancy flux = acid flux?

Stay away from the plumber's flux, that meant for piping - not electronics and electrical work. May cause corrosion down the road.

Crimp style connectors would be a better solution that soldering for must automotive work, I think. Get a good tool (not cheap) and some quality connectors (still cheap), this avoids exposing the cable to unnecessary heat, avoids solder creeping up under the sleeve, etc.

Never, EVER, solder a cable end before crimping or mounting it in a screw terminal. That will cause a loose connection down the line.
