There are two that the Hot Rod guys use on Cosmoline:
Gold Crew P2 and/or Stodard Solvent Both are environmentally friendly.
I’ve also heard of people using Gasoline, Naptha and Mineral Spirits, but the resulting effluent is difficult to dispose of. Maybe not a big deal if you’re way out on a farm somewhere, but not so cool if you live in town.
Lastly, Cosmoline dissolves at less than 212° so the Navy, which had the stuff developed to keep things from rusting in the South Pacific during WWII, simply use a steam cleaner and wash the stuff off. You could do the same by having a decent radiator repair shop clean it inside and out.

Thanks Gordon....good info, I have included this info my notes....Larry
