Default Intercooler maintance

Hey guys,
i just took off my I/C to polish it, the NE has taken its toll on my Endtanks and fin-rows.

a few questions,
what should i do to straighten out bent fins from rocks etc, i tried needle nose pliars, but this is very time consuming, does anyone have any tricks?
also the rows between the fins have become tarnished, anyone have any idea how to clean this up?

thanks!

Just remember to refill the IC with 2 quarts intercooler oil for best efficiency.
