the best way is to burn it off!! but this comes with a few obvious risks lol. other than that its a wire wheel in a drill but that doesnt get it all

I used a drill with a wire bit attachment, once you have most of it off the welder will burn the rest off, so you can wire brush it between welds.

I scraped it off with a decorators scraper & picked the rest out with my fingers. Wire brush bit & drill makes perfect sense however.

Use a grinder with a wire brush for the easy to access areas mate, drill/hand tools for the more awkward.
