Default cleaning buttwelds

instead of glass beading these sch40/10 buttweld pieces, what steps do you take in cleaning them to shine bling bling...

I was thinking cleaning them up and polishing before fabing.... or

Wire wheel after your done welding. My pipe is already cleaned, if anything I take acetone to it.

Engloid always said never to use a wire wheel before hand because parts could fall off and lay on the surface.

i'm pretty sure you are okay with a wire brush before hand as long as you use a stainless brush for stainless base metal only and not ms.
