Oven cleaner melts away stuff like that like MAGIC!
You just have to be careful not to get it on your skin or eyes. And if you do, wash it off right away.
You have to be careful because it is so strong it will strip paint and start to rust right away all in one step. It can mess up aluminum too if you leave it on too long. So use caution.
If you don't want paint stripped, don't use it, just use multiple applications of degreaser. Darren
