Default Cleaning Nickel Anode

I've been experimenting trying to plate with nickel. The anode has a smokey haze that will come off with steelwool if I rub hard enough. It seems like some of the parent material is also coming off in layers and the under layer is like new. Is there a pickle or something that I can put it in to do a better job?

Don't waste your time. Just wire wool it.
