Yes John,

    You are describing firestain or firescale. Instead of struggling to
    remove it, prevent it. Make up some Prip's flux or buy some flux
    that is advertised to prevent firescale. 

    Prip's is inexpensive to make and lasts a very long time. There is
    an extensive thread in the Orchid archives including the
    recipe/formula and the best means to apply it. What ever type of flux
    you choose, the trick is to get an even, complete coating on your
    piece before you start soldering. 

Happy soldering,
Judy in Kansas
