I'll feel better tomorrow and be back on solid food by Sunday.

I've uncrated a lot of tools over the years: those today tend to have
less cosmoline on them, but those that do have it, have it caked on.
I used kerosene first, followed with WD40, and then wax the daylights
out of the table. Boeshield does a nice job there, as does paste floor
wax, as we all know (or should) by now.

That is pretty much the schedule I'm following. That WD40 step hadn't
occurred to me. That should help. Thanks.

And adhesives, inks, marker, etc. That's why I buy it by the gallon
and transfer it to a spray bottle. Much cheaper than the aerosol cans.

Take it to the high-pressure car wash.

In the future, WD40 will also quickly strip off the built up layers of
TopCote, paste wax, Bosshield, etc before you give it another protective
coat.

KarlC@ (the obvious)
In the 1950s, I worked in the auto industry on imported cars from Europe.
They all came coated with that greasy stuff. It would take a pile of rags
and a gallon of mineral paint thinner called Varsol to get it off. If we
were to paint a damaged car, we would then remove all the trim because it
was all behind the trim and the solvent in the paint would cause it to leak
out ruining the paint job. After removing the trim we would rewash the car
with lacquer thinner, because we were repainting it anyway.

Probably due to it causing paint damage. You might want to try an automotive
cleaner like "PrepSol" by Dupont or "EZ Klean" by PPG that you can get from
an automotive paint supplier. I used EZ Klean on my new TS and it took it
right off. Won't harm paint unless you leave it on too long in a puddle.
Good luck!

Lacquer thinner will remove the paint.Lotsa rags /mineral spirits/ followed
by more rags and mineral spirits.

Corollary paint damage is only reason I can think of offhand...
