I've had really good luck removing grease/dirt buildup with a product that
they have at Wal-Mart called Orange Blast. It is in a day-glo orange pkg.
Put it in a spray bottle, spray it on, let it work a while, spray it off.
I've removed so much grease and grime that was covering bare metal that now
I am beginning to see a rust problem. (Hmmm... I'm not sure that I made
progress here.) My old wiring harness was so dirty that I didn't know that
there was color in the braid. After using this stuff it looked like new.
