Answer 1

A mix of light oil (3 in 1) and paraffin (kerosene) 1:2, applied with varying grades of wire wool and lots of elbow grease. If you protect yourself (goggles glove etc) you can use a powertool with wire brush or flapwheel. Just use soap and water on the glqass or a non scratch cream cleaner like Cif.

CLR from your grocery store
