Stopped by the local HD this morning. First, they greatly expanded the automotive section and oils/solvents. Picked up a gallon of the ZEP citrus based degreaser and a couple paint buckets. I'll drop a winch in tonight and see what happens. Luckily, there is a utility sink in the garage, so the admiral won't see the mess.
I'll report back on my success/failure.
