I have a very early Sprint gearbox , but it's been left outside and the casing has weathered with age
- corrosion / white marks on it
Does anyone know the best way to get it cleaned up
Do I get it shot blasted , bead blasted , power washed etc
Any ideas ??
Many thanks

I usually use a knotted wire brush on my angle grinder.

If your planning to overhaul the gearbox - everything out it would be worthwhile bead blasting the box casing -

Nice and clean.
