Dean, I use detergent based degreasers, and they work fine. Castrol has
one (the name escapes me) that comes in a spray bottle, cuts grease
really well. Available at any car parts place. I also use one called
CitriSolve. Its made from ornage peel oils, and is an unbeliveable
grease cutter. I use it with my compressor and a siphon sprayer for
cleaning engines. Non flammable and it's sold in many department stores
and auto sullpliers.
