Would you soak the surface in metho or would this potentially damage it?
Thanks,

Might sound silly, but have you tried a little clean eucalyptus oil on a small spot (try the very centre - inside the secondary shadow) to see if that lifts what you suspect to eucalyptus gunk. And after rinsing how does the surface look - any obvious damage? If it seems to work, maybe carefully lift the gunk with gently dabbed euc oil, then wash as per normal - a little detergent to lift residual euc oil and the rest.
