I believe it's called carding.

Carding is actually the fine wire brushing done after each rusting,boiling cycle. But yeah, you want to be back down to bare shiny steel after the Evaporust before beginning rust bluing. The stuff works pretty darn well....it takes about 24 hours, but it'll even remove Parkerizing down to bare steel.
