Cleaning Crankshaft.

I was wondering what the best of way of cleaning your crankshaft would be before I toss it back in including the oil galleys. Any idea's?

Thanks

Crocus cloth to polish the journals and a "rifled" or "spiral" brush to clean the oil passages.

Thank you

And also, Should I use any special type of cleaner?

I wouldnt use any cleaner, just a lint free rag to wipe it clean once it was done. But im sure you could just use some soapy water if you wanted, just make sure to coat in wd-40 or oil so it doesnt rust on ya.
