"The Cosmoline Battle"

This is for those who battle with the infamous "COSMOLINE" ;D If you're a C&R (Curio & Relic) collector, you are most likely familiar with the waxy & greasy substance. Used to preserve and protect old firearms (pistols/rifles) that were stored during and post WWI & WWII from rust and corrosion..
 
Even a lot of original AK stuff I order online comes caked with that stuff.. :P Because I'm lazy and some what of a "Cheapo", I've always used Starter Fluid and an old  tooth brush to remove it..So whats your "BATTLE" technique to removing cosmoline from your firearm or firearm "stuff" ;)

Haven't tried it myself, but I have to wonder how brake cleaner would do.
