I agree, except the "extreme measures" can be as simple as wiping down with
a purpose-made solvent, like Acryli-Clean (PPG DX330) or Prepsol (DuPont).
Most solvents (like lacquer thinner) won't touch it, but Acryli-Clean takes
it right off.  

It usually also picks up a lot more rust than you thought was left, too <G>
