Is it yellow? Sorry, can't really see the image on my phone. Guessing it is the cosmoline. If so, search for a product called Cosmonot. I think that is the right spelling

I'd try a little simple green, a small parts washing brush - a few rags. Looks like someone went hog wild with grease spray to lube the hinges. All you need is a few drops of oil on the hinges..
