I use a 'spot blaster' from harbor frieght (or others) which looks like a squirt gun, only it holds sand not water and takes pressurized air. Item 45998 on the harborfreightusa.com website is an example.

I clean everything up with a wire cup on a grinder and then the corners I couldn't get to I blast with the spot blaster and fine sand- works great!
