When I removed what I think was old Cetol from my teak I used a putty knife/paint scraper and a heat gun. Don't try it without the heat gun, it comes off dramatically easier with the heat.

I second Shawn's advice. Heat is neat.
Or you could use furniture stripper but that is messy.

Or let it go completely gray or mostly so - sand and scrape the remnants then recoat with the chemistry of your choice.  Got too hot too fast for me this year to finish.
