Welcome aboard!
I haven't had to do a full-scale clean out of the inside of the CB trunk (and hope you don't, either, really). I did have to shape the inside a fair bit, though. I found that files were effective, but major knuckle busters- not quite worth it. Sandpaper works fine upto a point, but it's tough to get very far into the slot if you need to. I did find that taping sandpaper to the CB and sliding that in and out worked amazingly well. If you've got really stubborn barnacles, and a Sawzall, they are now selling scraper attachments- ought to be able to get 5-6 inches up into the trunk.
Really, I just want an excuse to use my Sawzall on something whenever possible (used it 2 weeks ago to cut up an oooooooold dinghy), and if I can live vicariously through you, then that works for me.
