Brake cleaner mate on a bit of blue roll, brake cleaner cleans anything!, I've done mine with it, word of warning though if your using it in the engine bay be carefull! spray it on a cloth and wipe, if you dont and it get over stuff, and if it hasnt dried out, your engine may catch fire , it happened to a mate of mine with his rally car, seriously though its good stuff, just dont get it everywhere!

what about carb cleaner on a cloth??? that might help shift it too

edit - carb and brake cleaner are basically the same thing lmao
