Steel wool breaks up and I would avoid using it on antennas.  Scotch Brite 
works great and wont cause any rust issues.  I'm sure that a number of 
solvents will dissolve the penetrox.

Doug, I use WD40 and a green scouring pad.  I wear gloves for this job 
because
your hands will get stained.  It seems to work as well as fine steel wool.
Invariably I got a sliver of steel wool in my hands.   In 40 years I always 
got
used antennas and refurbished them.   If a plated U bolt was rusted I found 
a
galvanized one and replaced always what nuts and bolts I could with 
stainless
steel & anti-seize.RalphK9ZO
