I don't know that this will work, but it's what I'd try:

Go to a printer's supply and get a gallon of something called "blanket
wash." Ask for the blanket wash that's water-miscible and slow-dry. Put it
on with a squirt bottle (they'll have those at the printer's supply, too),
let it work for five minutes or so, and hose it off hard with one of those
adjustable brass gizmos.
