Wrap the paper round a dowel, or any odd shaped bit of wood is best to get in odd spaces. Polysyrene packaging makes good sanding blcoks and is easily cut to contours

Sand blaster maybe, they aren't very expensive if youve already got a compressor

It's funny, but any time a 'how do I do this' bodywork question arises, you can bet AlistairK has been there done that! because I was going to suggest a bit of wood. The polystyrene one is truly inspired though - top tip!

Question on the sand blasting suggestion- which medium is it best to use for price and effectiveness?

If it's heavy grot/rust removal then I'd go with a strip clean disc or paper wrapped around a suitable squidgey object. If it's just prep then a coarse Scotchbrite.
