I have had problems consistently clearing Satista prints made on BFK, using
a mix of warm Na4EDTA + citric acid (2% of each). However, Cot and Arches
Platine clear to paper base with ease.
I would like to try Permawash with BFK. What brand of Permawash do you use,
and how many sq. inches does a 4oz/gallon solution clear?
I found the use of Kodak's HCA after fixing with Ilford's Hypam bleached the
print. Switching to sodium thiosulfate has eliminated this problem.

Try giving the BFK an acid presoak treatment with oxalic acid. This may
help. I've not tried it with BFK and Satista but it may work since BFK needs
to be acidified for palladium printing.
