I agree - looks like a RustOleum job to me. Wash it and scrub with Scotch-Brite, rinse well, and that should take care of your prep. If any of the rust is significant, RustOleum makes a prep product

I've found the same thing with the red rags you buy today. I won't use one for solvent wiping anything, or for washing anything either. Kinda limits their usefulness. But in the 60's and 70's we used
