I don't really know what the stuff is, but try washing the parts with some dish washing liquid.

If you're talking about the Power Dissolver Sean, you can use it straight from the bottle. Just keep in mind like Justin said, DON'T use it on any chrome parts UNLESS you don't want them chrome anymore!

and what about paint will it strip it to????

It strips acrylics very well but for me the enamel paints will take alot of scrubbing and its difficult to clear it out of the cracks.

...Or a LOOOONG time sitting in it! I had some steel coils painted with Testors Model Master Steel enamal that was at least 10 years old and it stripped that. Of course I let them sit for about 3 or 4 months, so I don't know how quickly the Power Dissolver actually worked on the paint.
