if its metal, you can try Brake fluid. It will not effect the metal. You can also go with Easy Off oven cleaner and let it soak in a ziplock bag

Dettol.

I'm actually stripping metal figures at the moment. Soak for 24 hours. Use a toothbrush to get the gunk off. Clean with paper towels (nb avoid water).

Dettol is non-toxic & better to use.

Ummm….the one I bought at the supermarket.
AFAIK there are only two options: the brand named product & copies. I was told the copies might vary the formula & your results could be patchy.
