About 5 aerosol cans of Carb Cleaner and the small wire brushes. Wont take more than a few hours. After that, Dawn dishsoap with another few hours of brushing with new wire brushes. Once you are done, before you paint it, get some PPG DX330 metal prep cleaner or lacquer thinner and apply with terry cloth or cotton. Done AND Done. So, pretty much agree with Alvin! Other than if you forget the goggles, don't forget to blink a lot.
