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
