Short of abrading off the pads with a glass-fibre scratcy-brush-pencil
thingy (don't ya hate those invisible shards that stick in yer fingers
?), always will be a remaining tinning of whatever came first.
Put leaded solder on over the lead-free crap. Suck it off with the Soldapulit.
Then solder the joint properly. If it looks dull, suck THAT off with the
Soldapulit and try again.
