I always use brake cleaner and a soft (brass) wire brush - or an ultrasonic cleaner if you can get access to one, makes it much easier

Reckon an ultrasonic cleaner would get rid of that?

not on its own, but they certainly seem to soften it enough that getting it off after its been in there for half hour or so is a lot easier (from experience) and i did use a harsher cleaning fluid in it than usual, mostly consisting of meths and petrol, as they were what i had to hand
