There are various wipe down cleaners available from regular paint stores but on bare metal you can use fast dry enamel thinner such as Dupont 3812s which maynot be available anymore or a good lacquer thinner. When you get to any advanced stage of painting, wash your hands with soap and use the disposable blue latex gloves. Don't let anybody touch it like you are in an operating room.
