It's been on my list for most of the last year to lift up this bench seat and clean it all up under there. Crappy job, I'm telling you. Its going to take several passes, each at greater and greater detail to get it up to my standards. But, I made decent progress this weekend.

I'm using nylon bristled brushes and some green scotch brite pads and 5606. Seems to work well. I did spill a cup of 5606 all over my wing though. Its all meshed into my wing walk grit now, ughh. Sloppy me. But, I think I can get it out with some dawn and a hose sprayer. Hopefully.

The plan is to get it all cleaned up, then spray it all with corrosion X. I know it won't stay clean, but at least it'll start clean again. Its probably been 20+ years since this area was cleaned.
