Default Cleaning Red Valve Cover

I was given an oem red valve cover today, but it has a good bit of black on it, and I was wondering what everyone used as the safe way to clean it without removing the oem coating.

I just tried heavly deluted Simple Green, and didn't touch it one bit.

I have some Greased Lightning and Purple Power, but I am afraid it might remove the paint.

Don't mean to threadjack...but will pressurewashing a Type R cover remove the red wrinkle finish? I've got lots of oil stains on mine, and I'm hoping some simple green/scrubbing/pressure washing will get it off. Any input?

Try Gojo hand cleaner, rub it on then rinse it off...works like a charm.
