If there is a bulk fuel plant close that caters to ranchers/farmers, stop in there and see if they have bulk solvent. It is the same stuff as BBQ lighter fuel but might be some cheaper if You can buy it by the gallon. Probably have to have Your own jug if they do.

50/50 mix......Palmolive (in HOT water if possible) and kerosene. I detailed cars in high school and that was the 'secret formula' for engines. If its real bad, go 60-40 K1.

Sounds nuts but works great.

There is a way to make the most caked on brake dusted rims look like new without scrubbing too. It will cost you 1-2 spray bottles and at least one pair of gloves but nothing is easier or better. :hat:

Easy Off oven nuke.
Wear eye protection and a mask... this ain't no covid.
Yes this will work, but it won't do any of the paint any good, it won't strip it off, but it will stain it. Just something to be away of. Layer that oven off on good. It'll work better if you do it on a warm day but in the shade.

I concur. Degreaser IS a joke and i've got really bad news for you Mr.Brown.

You already possess everything you need to clean that.
First : stop spraying it with water.
Second : get a rag
Third : get to rubbbing and wiping.
I like to use nylon brushes

Q: "How do I clean this?"
A: elbow grease
