Hi Spencer , Diesel fuel or kerosene is what I use. let it dry after cleaning and brush on a thin coat of Floods Penetrol to bring out the old paint!  Steve

The answer I remember hearing most was diesel fuel; after getting off the worst of the crud and dirt by gentle scraping.   But, because I have early onset CRS , I am not sure of that answer.  Does that sound right?
