[TR] Cleaning Cardboard Radiator Duct

[thenicholls at verizon.net]

I had an original shroud on my 72 TR6.  I would not advising dipping it.  I wiped it with a damp rag, and in your case I would sand the 
rivets with fine sand paper, and then I sprayed the whole thing with black, flat spray paint.

It turned out great.

List,
I just purchased and received a TR4A shroud/duct for the radiator, used
of course. The duct is in fairly good shape for something that's been around
for over 40 years. There is noticeable rust on the rivets, and it's dirty
with black soot-like material that comes off on the hands while handling. How
do I clean this duct to prepare it for painting? I googled "cleaning
cardboard" and found a link for cleaning cardboard game board boxes. The
suggestion was to immerse the box in a tub of lukewarm water and then let dry,
thoroughly. I don't think I want to do this with the duct.
Thanks for any
suggestions,
