Miracle cleaning product ?

My car was in an engine fire. The core and most other motor parts like the UIM are fine. I'm trying to get them clean to get it polished. I tackled it with a wire brush and used simple green and brake parts cleaner. I can see silver again, but it's hard to get in the cracks and grooves. This is hard work, anything out there I can buy that will make the process easier?

why? if you are going to polish it then just sand it down.

It'll make things a little easier with a good assortment of wire wheels and cups you can use with your drill. Simple Green is only good on grease IMHO. Plain water, soap and scouring pad is OK. It's still gonna be alot of work.
