Use wax and grease remover as the final step, not mineral spirits. Ok to use mineral spirits before wax and grease remover. As to your acid, although I have done it once, I do not recommend H3PO4 on any kind on cast, it may get in the pores and lift the paint later. The one time I did it with Picklex 20, it did not lift.
