Best results are done if the item has been removed from the train.

On larger couplers and items that are realty dirty I will uses a small brass brush or a Brass wire wheel mounted in a drill press, then use the wool.

I m sure that there are a lot more techniques and maybe i can also get some more ideas on this subject.
