Yes - there will be grease on the wires. Use some Bakers solder flux - just dip a cheap paint brush in and apply to the bare wire, then with a loaded and HOT soledring iron you should be able to tin the wire... sometimes you might need to let soak for 30 secs or so.

Good luck mate ^^^

If you don't have flux, try some steel wool or sand paper to rub down to clean metal, then try again
