Friend's car starter is gunked up and takes a few times to start, looks like oil had leaked all over it and the oil began to harden and now it just looks like sludge. Can we detach the starter and clean it ourselves hoping it would start up good as new or should I just replace it? The idea here is that maybe if we take it apart and use some steel wool to clean it out maybe it wouldn't take 2-3 tries to start it up?
The idea here is to save money, but if it can't be helped we have no problem just buying a new starter or getting one at a junkyard.

1 can of parts cleaner from any auto parts store. Remover the starter and blast the fuck out of it with that stuff.
Reinstall and enjoy.

You mean the car winds over a few times before it catches?
That's like totally normal

Maybe. But you can damage a motor commutator or windings if you are not careful.
