But here's an interim thing to try:  Barkeepers Friend, right next to the Bab-O on the grocery store shelf.  Make a poultice of that and water.  A toothbrush will help.

I use it on my scratchbuilds, and afterwards often paint.  So far no problems.  I do a very light bead blast when I can, but trying that on an import can be hazardous due to warping.

I've used Barkeepers Friend liquid spray version on items prior to painting,  worked well.
