I use GoJo and a toothbrush to get the first layer of grunge off then if there is still stuff in the small indentations I'll use some dental tools to do a little scraping and more brushing.  I've heard of folks using an ultrasound bath....but I don't have one of those.  When they are clean I might use some novus to polish them up and then buff them.  How easy and quick depends on how dirty and grungy they were to start with.
Cheers,
Bob
