Ceramic MOS 6532 that faired only a little better, a ceramic/traced AMI
6810, and a early plastic 6502 and 6530 among the more conventional
stuff.  Any recommendations on neutralizing/cleaning the gunk of the
ceramics?

The green icky stuff looks like verdigris.  I'd just scrub it off with
a toothbrush and warm water.  If that doesn't shift it, dilute acid
such as vinegar or lemon juice will, but rinse the ICs thoroughly
afterwards if you do that.
