I have been using a sand blasting cabinet with glass beads to prepare parts made
---From aluminium.

I wash with hot water and Palmolive soap and scotch bright and or brushes before
painting.

I need to paint some steel parts.

How can i clean off the glass beading grunge from Steel?

I tried enamel reducer, even with scotch bright it does not seem to clean real
well.

I tried washing a practice steel part with hot water and Palmolive and it seems
to work well.

I am concerned that it may get surface rust??? I washed  the practice part, 
dried
it and hit it with a heat shrink gun. Don't see any corrosion.

I will be using Dupont self etching primer.

Thx.
