How do I clean pistons that are ceramic coated?

I got some pistons I want to clean that have the tops ceramic coated. The buildup on the pistons is really hard, not something I can just wipe off. Anyone got ideas as to what takes the stuff off?

Contact the company that you got them from and see what they recommend.

I've used aluminum wheel cleaner and steel wool to clean my PR3's. It just takes some time to scrub off. But with the ceramic coating, I would use something other than steel wool.
