Try some Tar and Adhesive remover on them, spray it on, leave to soak and then wipe over. then scrape them and trad them once more. That should work. :-)

Let us know how you get on.

Use a back pack and add iso ( IPA) to the water.If its grease it will work.If this does not work its not oil based.
