   You can always just use soapy water and a hard brush but you will still have tiny rust patches where the rust used to be... you'd get a much better result if you respray plus you can choose what colour to have it and tidy your bay up a bit

    Just remove the two nuts on the rocker cover. One on either side. You will also have to remove the Plastic carrier for the HT leads, again two bolts. Then just lift it off.
    
    Just watch out for the plate below and the two spacers. Which must go back on
