get some brake kleen non clorinated from Auto zone ,a couple of cans will clean the cosmo out faster than you can beleive.
The good thing about brake cleaner is that it will strip every last trace of oil off the metal. However, the bad thing about brake cleaner is that it will strip every last trace of oil off the metal. Military-style parkerized or phosphate finishes don't possess any corrosion-protecting properties on their own; their purpose is to absorb oil. No oil = no corrosion protection.

Make sure to thoroughly oil any surface that has been cleaned with brake cleaner.
