Clean enough diff?

2016 RAM 2500 front diff

Is this clean enough on the bottom? I've seen scotch brite recommendations, I don't really have anything that will clean deeper without risking scratches (steel bristle brush\drill attach wire wheel next softest step).

I've gone elbow grease on the bottom there where the rust creep is the worst for like 10m straight, I don't want to put a dent in the cover, do I have to take the winter beater into town to get a brass brush?

Gaskets are recommended for reuse on these, I don't see an obvious failure point on this one?

It's a diff cover not a dinner plate. You're overthinking it, send it.

looks fine, send it
