I've given up using water with metal. After polishing etc., I clean thoroughly with Brake Kleen and wear those surgeon gloves. Any quenching is done with oil.
If hot tanking, I rinse with safety solvent. After rinse, I use Brake Kleen again to pull off any solvent residue left from the safety solvent and then let soak in hot oil.
