Citrisolve is absolutely fantastic at this. Simple Green isn't far behind.
Both are nice and biodegradable.
Of course, they are no longer when contaminated with all the engine crud. You
can get them in large quanties
at agriculture supply facilities. Not the garden section of K-Mart, but places
like a John Deere dealer or a
co-op.
Go with a little caution on the citrisolve. Accidently found out on a
customers brand spanking new tractor
that it disolves John Deere green paint beautifully. :-(
