i like spray nine, but the greased lightning works, simple green as daddeo stated. i haven't found a cleaner yet that hurt the plastic. i even used lacquer thinner to get the grease off the spur gear on this car.

I always use the odorless solvent that you can buy from home depo. Realy take yhe grease off. I use it for anything. Even stuborn servo tape. I just spray it on and let is soak for few minutes.

castrol super clean. ultimate parts cleaner and paint stripper imo, just dont get it around metal stuff or use bare hands with it.
i havent been able to find it lately, i wonder if it was killing people...

i use ezoff with the yellow lid in a ziploc freezer bag for stripping anodizing. works pretty good.
