seems to turn it to rust free metal and with no work either soak the smaller parts and work the larger parts. Yes paint is softened and removed as well as skin...It can irritate so wash up quick. No it does need to be wiped down and I usually clean parts with brake cleaner  or acetone before painting. cheap and dries really fast.
