A few comments form the commercial restaurant trade.

The dark grey synthetic scrubbie pads by 3M, if you can find them in
hardware or department stores, are the same used to clean grill
surfaces.Tough, course, synthetic 'steel wool'. Can also be used to
strip paint and wood finishes, if you want. They also use the same oil
to disolve the cooked-on oil and food residue from the grill (and I
would guess it maintains the oil seasoning of the metal), so soaking a
pad in the same oil you used to cook with will help disolve it (and wear
gloves) off the pan.

If you want to save on elbow grease, hardware stores sell small rotary
sanding wheels made with several flaps of the same synthetic scrubbie
materiel, but take care you don't grind down some of the pan in the process.
