Default Can't lift grime of table saw

Hi,

I'm rehabbing an old craftsman saw which has never been used but sat in
a garage for 20+ years. The tar paper had completely rusted into the
surfaces. I have cleaned it up substantially but I just can't seem to
lift the remaining grime off of it. The funny thing is that the grime
seems to move around the saw (for example if I rub it with my finger),
but it's just too sticky to come up. Here are two pictures:

I have tried:

Scotch Brite
Steel wool
Sand paper

in combinations with:

WD40
Goof off
Acetone
dishwasher soap
baking soda
mineral spirits

Nothing works!

Any further ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Sam
