I used denatured alchohol and tooth brush looking wire brush, then I painted it with the high temperature engine paint. I may not be correct but that was over a year ago and it has held up nicely. Even after some of the fluid spilled on it.

Austin -

There is a "no elbow grease" method (well, a whole lot less anyways), but that depends on the wallet. I have tried a product called Rusteco from Ecoclean 2000 that has thus far worked GREAT on smaller components. I say say smaller components since I only purchased 1-gallon worth of Rusteco and am using small plastic holding containers.

Rusteco is environmentally friendly so there are no toxic waste concerns as there are with say a muriatic acid bath.

And no... I am not a distributor or salesman ('person' for the politically correct people). Just pleased with the results I have seen so far.
