Go to one of those dollar stores by the cheap brand oven cleaner. works great on the frame. Just spray it down, let it set a few hours, hose it off.

Brake cleaner works well too. It's for the smaller jobs though. The best kind?? HONDA sells the best brake cleaner you can ever buy. Find it at the dealership. Not kidding. We have tried all the different brands and it's the best.

All mentioned are awsome cleaners, but I would have to vote for the super clean. It is way more versitile than oven cleaner.

Oven cleaner,gunk,orange,brakecleaner, instead of hoseing off with water, blast it off with a hi-pressure wash. Or better yet a steam cleaner- rent out pretty damn cheap.

Yep!! Castrol Super Clean!!
Took of some gunky varnish type crud in seconds when the other 3 cleaners I tried wouldn't even budge it. Wear gloves though, it'll super clean your finger prints off. |

Be careful of oven cleaner. It'll strip the clearcoat off aluminum intakes. Don't ask how I know. I'd imagine it will affect other finishes as well. But it does work great on everything, including driveways.

degreaser
Oil Eater works well but gets crusty if you don't use it fast enough. I like Super Clean as well and Purple Cleaner from Carquest. However, nothing will beat a Hotsy!
