Connecting multiple wires? Rats nest with rusty wire nuts!

At my wash the previous maintenance guy used lots of wire nuts in the coin box at each bay, for example the power wire is twisted with the horn, heater, sensortron, and timer with one wire nut. Same with the common wires as well as others. does anybody have any suggestions to make install cleaner and easier to do maintenance or change a part out. Thanks!
 
I've been looking at molex, how do you split your power wires up so that they can be shared by everything?

Whenever I can, I split off from the terminal strip for each part that needs power. If I have to run multiple feeds off one wire, I use a crimp-on "wire nut" before the plugs so that I'm never undoing a bundle of wires to replace a coin acceptor.

I bought terminals for the coin boxes but haven't installed them yet, I very much like the crimp on wire nuts.
