Degreasing brakes
#2
Paraffin with a degreasing agent added in for really stubborn stuff. We use a small paint brush to work it in. Rinse with water. Brake cleaner or carb cleaner in aerosol form is useful for blowing through small apertures, it's expensive so I use it last and sparingly. Blow dry with compressed air.

In your case I'd wash and dry as above then blast off with brake cleaner to ensure that the drums are properly oil free.

Petrol and thinners are a large fire risk, so I will only used them as last resorts - with a fire extinguisher handy.
