My guess - Trisodium Phosphate solution (OP put chemical composition in their post, you can buy it on ebay) to strip old coating and then some time at a buffer wheel
nice job
bit of googling does brings up Caustic Soda as an option some folks use - whatever you do beware you are removing material (and eventually strength) with these chemicals so work quickly and clean well

Hi!
Trisodium phosphate.
I put it into hot water, mix it, and then put the part into it.
Then I wait about 15minutes, and take the parts out, clean them with fresh water. Some parts has got a black layer, but it can be easily remove with water. If it needs, then repeat the first step (in the forts round, some parts remain...pink. ).
Then water again, remove the black layer, and after drying some steel wood, sandpaper(1200), and then polishing with Autosol.
