Well, this is a tricky subject, as i'm still experimenting on different
methods. I would use some engine degreaser and use a high powered washer to
rinse it (car wash is ideal). Just let the degreaser soak for at least an
hour before rinsing....dont be afraid to use the whole can! :)

**DO NOT USE SUPER CLEAN OR SIMPLE GREEN** these are way too harsh for the
metal

After everythings dry...get a can of stoners trim shine and spray everything
down. Don't wipe the stuff, just make sure you get everything with a few
thin coats. You should be happy with that.

Another method I've used is by far the most simplistic. Buy a good size can
of tire foam, and cover everything with it. Then let it do its thing. You
may want to repeat the process, depending on how dirty it is. The only real
drawback is the shine doesnt last as long as the previous method, but its a
heck of a lot less work.

Hope this helps.
