Hi Derek,
The most effective bulk degreaser is mechanical, wipe it off with clean cotton rags and clean toothbrushes. Then use a safety solvent like kerosene or mineral spirits and be sure to let the solvent evaporate before lighty applying fresh lubricant.?
Try to avoid getting solvent on the black anodizing, I am not sure what type anodizing is used these days and it might damage the anodizing. It shouldn't but this is California and many processes are not what they once were.?
