You may get some responses here, but would probably be better to repost in the detailing sub forum.

I use a plain ole pencil eraser to get it off. Works perfect on black auto trim. Don't see why it wouldn't work on engine cases.

A soft brush dipped in Kerosene is what works for me. Like a toothbrush.
