I could also write a "how to clean your firearm" article.

Then you should.

I WOULD recommend using WD 40. I would also recommend using very hot water. I would also disagree that WD 40 is not a lubricant.
Using compressed air MIGHT get the water out of inaccessible places-and it might not. Soap and water will remove oil from where it touches. A good flush with WD 40 will get oil back in those inaccessible areas.

The point of my article is, it doesn't really matter. Plain old soapy water will do the trick, doesn't have to be hot, and heat while drying promotes oxidation. And pretty much any oil will do.
I once put a shirt of maille in the oven to dry it off. It came out bright orange with rust. Heat is not a good idea when drying iron objects. I used leaf blowers after that.
