Cleaning hobby came on stained glass projects

I am struggling with my stained glass project. How do you clean the simple leaded angel after soldering so that corrosion doesn't form on the hobby came?
Thank you

Milly's reply:
You can clean the tallow (or other types of flux) off with a wire or suede brush until it's shiny. If you're using a wire brush, be sure to use one from a stained glass supplier, as they're less harsh than standard wire brushes, and won't scratch your lead came so much. I prefer suede brushes; they're softer still.
You can then blacken and shine it with grate or graphite polish.
Thanks for your question, I hope this answers it.
