hi marcus,
yes you can clean with a acidic,but i would recommend you do a course first,you could clean and get away for months but you can guarantee one will come along and bite you.

If you have a kindle or you can run a kindle apps off your computer there is a very good ebook by Jeff Cross on Amazon for about £3.99

Its very technical  but should tell you all you need to know . There are about 90 pages packed with information not flannel or padding

Once you have got it break it into Bite Size pieces

There is a Question section throughout , so once you can answer every question you will know more than most

Marcus your best bet is to contact someone near you (maybe not too near) who'd take you out for the day for some work experience.  Absorb as much as you can, but also remember you need the theoretical training too so don't try to replace it with "experience".
