Oven cleaner works well for greasy spots.:thumb1:

Just be aware that if you got loose paint or bare aluminum it will do strange things... The paint it will remove any old paint rather quickly with just a garden hose to rinse. Then as for the bare aluminum is will blacken the aluminum...

Which is really handy on old engines where you want to strip to bare metal.:thumb1:

Simple Green is the ticket for maintaing a clean bay. Wont etch your polished stuff either.If you want to get real down to it, take your pressure washer and get the wet sandblasting attachment.instead of sand, run granulated laundry soap through it. Cleanest engine parts and pieces ever..with no fear of residual abrasive since its water soluble :)
