gunk is ok. i use some 78cent walmart engine degreaser or simple green. spray some on and let it sit there for awhile...then scrub away...and then hose it down with water. repeat process as many times as ya want! good luck.

I just use Simple Green, works good! I used to use that gunk stuff but it smells pretty bad and it can discolor things.

not to hijack your thread but if everybody could post before clean and after clean pictures and tell us what you used
i think that would be much more informative
