Default How best to clean away rust, cosmolene etc from underside?

Hi,

I have a 10 year old 993 that lives in Southern Cal. Now that it has become a weekend toy I've been thinking about how to clean up some of the underside areas that are showing some light rust (primarily the exhaust component nuts/bolts) and residual cosmolene that hasn't been blown away by my pressure washer as yet. Is there any product that would ease the removal of either one?

I use (in order of aggresiveness) simple green, castrol purple degreaser, meguiars body solvent, and then carb cleaner. Some stiff bristle brushes are great for the job also. Good luck,
Steve

+1 for Strik. Stay away from carb cleaners as they will permanantly leave a dry haxe on metal surface such as aluminum.
