Depending on what you're okay with getting wet, some cheap engine degreaser and a power washer works pretty good

Go the Dollar General store, and get some of their brand "oven cleaner".
Several on this forum have recommended it, so i tried it. Cheap and works great, cant' beat it.

Re: Getting rid of the crap...

if you don't have access to a power washer can you just pour water over it to rinse it off or do you absolutely need the power washer at full blast? My only other option is a coin op car wash

I spray all my crap, then drive it a few blocks to the coin op, works pretty well and the drive allows time for the stuff to soak in.
