May have been my post. I"ve found wirebrushing really burnishes the old paint/dirt/oils residue onto the metal.

Tough on the hands and lungs, so wear protection. After a few wipes the towels will get less residue and you"ll know when you can stop. Just like getting a good gasket seal, you need to remove the crud for the primer to get good hold. I let the dirty towels lie out in the sun to dry for a few hours because they may spontaneously combust if thrown together into a garbage can.
