I used brake clean at first to gat the first coating of grime off. Then
another dose of brake clean. After drying, I took a dremel with a wire
wheel attachment that could get into the smaller areas and, with a 6 pack by
my side, and some great 70s tunes, went to towm for about 3 hours. The
results are great!
