What are you using to clean it ?  - wfp brush or jet wash ?

is there glass or is it all metal cladding ?

i think you will be in for a long hard and possibly unrewarding time...

good place to start would be tfr - but if it's that ingrained you may be putting it on neat and using scrubbing brushes
( if practical ).

i remember a thread well over a year ago some one had lots of powder coating and stainless steel  used some other
chemical but cant think what is was - you could try a forum search...
