Removing cosmolene

As an aside, now that the OP has resolved the issue, I would like to plug a product I found quite surprising. Some of you guys may already know about it, but it was new to me. Rustoleum has a spray degreaser that really shocked me. I was swapping out some bucket pins on a track hoe and needed to wipe down the pins and bores. Went to NAPA to get some carb or brake cleaner and saw that product. It smells sort of like a combination of citrus-like cleaner with some solvent. But it cut that nasty grease better than any solvent I have tried. I don't know what's in it, but it dries slower than the carb and brake cleaners, allowing it to dissolve whatever gunk you spray it on. I keep some around now. I have not seen it, despite looking and asking at the lumberyards and home centers who carry a "full line" of Rustoleum products, but only at the NAPA store. I wish I had found it a long time ago.

Interesting Tony that you have mentioned Citrus as I also stumbled over some solvent here in Thailand that is used to clear of the very tacky residue left from various stickers and tape backing ,This product also is a citrus based oil and I will say it does a remarkable job on braking down that sticky residue left by stickers etc it cuts it away in no time flat ,I also use it for cleaning various items and it does a great job .Sounds similar to the product you mention .
 
you own a hot plate?

High detergent motor oil heated to 250 degrees in a old cooking pot with the part soaking in that for a couple minutes works amazing
 
Ken, I'd have to look at the can I have on the truck, but I don't remember seeing the "3500". I think it may be this, although it does not mention citrus:

I'll look tomorrow and post what I have. Now I'm curious about the 3500.

This is the one I found in Thailand I mentioned before to Tony .and it is citrus based .Im not sure if the rust oleum product is similar with citrus but from what Tony described in his earlier post quite possibly a very simalar product image.pngimage.png
 
I use a ultrasonic cleaner to clean anything that doesn't want to be cleaned....
I'm surprised every time I use it....
