Bill,
Use phosphoric acid. Make sure you use compressed air to blow out what gets
in the cracks and wipe off any residue, otherwise some of it will turn to a
white powder and will either prevent paint adhesion or eventually leach
through the paint. I also use a paint prep degreaser to make sure there
isn't any oil residue from you hands on the metal. You can get phosphoric
acid from a pro paint shop (also known as metal prep) and also from home
supply stores. Jasco makes a product called "Prep and Prime" at about half
the cost of the paint shops.
