Then apply your favorite lube (I don't get involved in lube discussions).
I expect this thread to go the usual route and have my popcorn ready.
I used Zep Commercial 128-oz Heavy-Duty Citrus Degreaser, very clear orange. It's still soaking, and I shake it every time I walk by.
Tom's recommendation went a long way, I ordered last night.
