Axle cleaning tips?

[thebutelr]

Is the only way to get the brown tarnish off of old axles is to sand it off or is there a special chemical you can let it soak in to get it off?? I want to restore my old stock 350x axle but I don't really know what to use to get it completely off of there. :confused:

I sand blast them and clear coat afterwards makes them look new
