Bolt cleaner
This may sound too simple but it really works. I was bolting on a used Tune Port set up and needed to clean about 20 bolts and small brackets. I put them in a Gatorade bottle (it has a large cap / opening). Then I put in about a two cups of a 50/50 mix of silica sand and kerosene. Then shake it like crazy. You can play with different grits to get a desired result. I used a pretty heavy grit a little smaller than a pencil lead. Either way, it cleans them really good. No need for a wire wheel or brush. When I get the bolts out, I just put them in a second bottle with hot soap and water. Shake it like crazy, take them out and dry accordingly.
It's cheap and works great. What else can you ask for?
