I'd use a clay bar and plenty of lube. That's the safest way. They're designed purely to remove contaminants from the surface and not from below it, which all other abrasives are.

Clay bars were originally designed for removing overspray. The fact they've gone on to remove other heavily stuck-on grime etc is purely a bonus/afterthought!

Doubt a clay bar will be any use if its all on bits underneath by the sound of it. Id try gunwash as i cant think of anything else that would get it off, trya small area first

Clay bar will work perfectly underneath.

Doesn't matter what the surface is like, clay bar will sort it.
