You might do a search on cleaning actions in the archives.  Mr. Gordon
Stelter (a.k.a. Thump) has a novel way of doing this type of cleaning.
Though his particular method has risks associated with it (such as
warping).  Be forewarned!

Well, 

I have dug into an old Kimball upright that is going to be my practice
piano for repairing.  A question I have is about cleaning
corrosion.....how?  Today I am referring to the metal frame in the
action.  I have completely stripped the action, and want to the clean up
the metal frame parts.  Somebody in the past had dabbed on with a brush
as far as I can tell, silver paint to hide the corrosion.  I thought an
electric drill with a wire brush was overkill, and would damage the wood
parts, a Dremel tool seems like it will hardly put a dent in the job.
That leaves steel wool? Or a hand wire brush.  Thanks.

Tom
