Go look at your parts store.

Get an engine degreaser that is a gel.

or any type of cleaner/degreaser that is paint safe. Just get anything this is not hard just use some elbow grease.

I went with a recommendation that someone gave me for an aluminum acid and it cost 40 bucks for a gallon. You can cut it down to about .25 with water because its so pure but man the stuff is the best thing I ever used. Nothing comes is close to this stuff NOTHING simple green engine bright are all garbage comparred to it. Its called streak master aluminum brightner. click the link and you can get a gallon for 29.95 or just search it and you will see they use this stuff on those polished horse trailers.
