Roger-if it is plumbers putty try the HG oil and grease stain remover. call margi at m3 she has it. Darek turned me on to this stuff years ago and it works very well on those types of stains.
Freds right you gotta remove the faucets.

It looks like it may be plumbers putty..If this is the case you will need to remove the faucets before you can poultice.  I would use MC in a poultice but be warned it can take numerous applications.

I recently looked at a sink with two faucets with staining issues.  Please see attached pictures. It is my guess that the staining is from caulk or silicone. This is a fairly new installation. It is my understanding methylene chloride should be used in the poultice. I have never worked MC, but I’ve heard it is nasty stuff. Is there any alternative that would work such as hydrogen peroxide?  Thanks in advance for your help! If MC is the only option, will it damage the faucets?
