I got it at a truck stop, if you don't mind taking some *serious* precautions it might be worth a shot.
Well that seems a bit too scary to do in the yard with the dog and such. I wonder if there's any merit in the one process I read that began using easyoff oven cleaner? Or maybe I'd be better off taking it to a truck wash where they might have a process similar to what you describe.
