Default metal prep NEED HELP PLEASE

i am having problems with pretreatment of metal. i have used picklex and ortho from ace hrdwr. both leave gooie trails and balls on parts. my last attempt was with the ortho. i sprayed it on and let it set for 15 min then rinsed it off, no goo but had flash rust on parts. i am missing something here and would really appreciate any and all ideas on this. my work is starting to accumulate and i am learry to continue on till i figure this out. also i have found that black beauty is to aggresive, it leaves to rough a finish even after going over part with scotch brite. i would like to simplify the operation some what. what recomendations does anyone have for this one also.
thank you all in advance
ron
