I’ve jus acquired an ex tafe lathe. It’s in great condition, but there is a bit of oil staining of the paint in some areas. I posted on another forum asking for some advice on using a degreaser to remove it that will not melt the paint. I got several suggestions from wd40 to a foaming degreaser from reproduced. Unfortunately apart from the we 40 that did nothing to remove it, the degreasers all warn not to use it on paint as it can damage it!

Does anyone know of a method that is safe on the paint?
