What is usually called paint thinner is mineral spirits. There is some stuff called low odor paint thinner I've never found any use for especially thinning paint.

If they are rusty or has flaking paint, it would be best to sandblast them to bare metal. If they are caked with grease wash with oven cleaner. Note: if you use oven cleaner after you rinse treat with vinegar to neutralize the sodium hydroxide.
