WD40. It dissolves almost anything that is petroleum based

Limco 139 prepaint wash. But it's about $28-30 a gallon.

Re: Greasey hands on valve covers
You could wipe it down with a brake cleaner or Lacquer thinner on a clean rag. Then I would do a poish job to put the oils back into the metal so it will not turn hazy.
