Rust removal from prop

I dye check my prop for cracks, but I dislike removing the rust that builds up after use.

I've always used a die grinder with a Scotch-Brite pad, but is there a better way?

I'm thinking that a bead blaster would work quicker, easier and more thorough without having to worry about nicking the blade edges.

Is it customary to finish the prop after cleaning to buff it on a buffer. I haven't, but sure thought about it.



For those who check their props often, how do you recommend cleaning the prop?:3:
