I used brake clean at first to gat the first coating of grime off.  Then 
another dose of brake clean.  After drying, I took a dremel with a wire 
wheel attachment that could get into the smaller areas and, with a 6 pack by 
my side, and some great 70s tunes, went to towm for about 3 hours.  The 
results are great!
