4. After sludge wash dries i wipe most of it off with paper towel and q-tips, just wet the tiniest bit with water..

  Oh yea. If this all goes horribly wrong, spray the whole part with Easy Off oven cleaner, and scrub with a toothbrush, then restart, the plastic will be in good shape but all the paint will be GONE.
