Power washer or steam cleaner. You can rent or find somebody that does it. Or, you can get down and dirty with it. Gunk degreaser, putty knife and a wire brush.

pressure washer, and some Purple power and a wire brush to start.

Kleen Strip Aircraft Stripper and a high pressure washer.

I like all these. If you have a plastic 5 gallon bucket soak with degreaser for a few days to soften it up. Dave

Car wash, will cost ya about 5 bucks, but well worth it if ya can't beg, borrow or steal a pressure washer.

"go to your local machine shop " used to be the standard reply for this sort of thing

IMO a HOT water steam cleaner pressure washer works the best. I used one that my local truck repair shop has.

Muriatic acid: Be careful fumes are horrible. respirator, full face shield required. Don't get it on your skin. It's made to clean masonery. My rear had metal in the grease and it still took four trys to get clean. only Clear coat on the pig, but the inspection numbers are ghost but visible.
