Thanks, Hirlau!
Once I had the chain on my moped come off, and I had to put it back on the side of the road with my bare hands which were dirtier than they'd ever been with the black greasy swarf form the chain. I ring the doorbell on the house closest to me, an elderly woman opens and I ask if I could wash my hands.
She told me ok, but first take a sliver of butter, melt it in your hands and rub it in. I thought it was very strange but I figured at least I get to wash my hands so whatever. But the butter dissolved all the swarf and when I washed my hands with water and soap, they were absolutely squeaky clean.
What About Simple Green?
Tried Simple green,,,,,, I will have a set of photo results in a few.

I'll slap some dang butter on it after I get home. :D
Hirlau, that is exactly what is going on with mine. Guess I'll have to get me a nagura, cause I definitely don't want that stain on my Shobu-dani.
I can lap my synthetics and it goes away, but I don't know whether that "whatever it is" will interfere with the slurry off the Shobu, or off of a colticule. I'm new to both, and don't need another variable I can't account for during the learning process. Got enough of that already.
Thanks to everyone who resonded. I very much appreciate all of your help.
That is some incredibly determined oil residue. I figured a simple green soak like I gave my Arkies woulda fixed the issue. Tossed 'em in a bucket mixed heavy on the SG and let 'em soak a few days before even considering removing them. Not sure if that would help this problem any though. Purple Power or a good steam cleaning maybe?
Marshal, thanks. It is soaking in SG as we "speak". Hope that will do the trick, but won't know for a bit.
Soak in SG did not do the trick. Am trying the oven cleaner now. If that doesn't work, I'll try a longer soak, 24 hours or more, in Simple Green. I will post back to this thread if I find a solution.
