				Cleaning it down ???
I use paraffin and work it in with a small paintbrush a 1/4" lining brush. Then use soap and water to get that off

				Soda blasting is ment to be very good and gives a matt factory finish, obviously it will cost a few quid.

 paraffin or kerosine (it's cheaper),  then a good clean down with hot soapy water
