There is nothing funny about cleaning parts with a wire wheel. Cheap and effective.
One problem though..... The wire strands from the wheel. They go everywhere! I've had them fly at my face, stick in my clothes, even my legs. One time at work, I kept getting an itch. After a few scratch sessions, I got pissed and pulled down my pants. There was a wire stuck in the bottom front of my underwear. Not good.

I'm just giving a heads up to those that may want a better method. Keep using a wire brush if you like it. Yep those loose wires sure are fun. I still use a wire brush to refinish some Rolex watch bands and create texture on gold,silver jewelry and always find it entertaining.
