use a degreaser (simple green or something like it) and a wire brush and a toothbrush for small areas. it'll work great.

will "simple green" hurt paint. what is a good cleaner to use if you have a white car, and it has greese in the engine bay on the paint. YOu know around where the shock towers are and the fire wall.

simple green is the ****
its non toxic and biodegradeable
ive used it on paint
doesnt seem to hurt it
and it works great
i think dishwashing liquid would be worse to use then simple green

I've had good luck with Castrol Super Clean Degreaser spray and a stiff brissle brush/toothbrush. After I got completly done with the degreaser I used some of the Castrol Super Clean Alloy Wheel Cleaner, it left an impressivly clean engine block.
