Starting Fluid.
Takes off any oil or grease seems to work way better then Brake Cleaner but only use it outside or a WELL VENTED PLACE!!!!
It also won't hurt any painted surfaces.

Don't smoke either! :bomb:

If the cut part of your cylinders are starting to get crappy, try using scotch brite pads. My '05 with the silver motor got very rough looking after a while. The fins were getting deoxidized so I tried the pads. Working them carefully it cuts just enough material off to bring back the cut edges of your fins.

Worked really good, but takes a while....be sure to run only the fin edge, otherwise it'll take the silver or black right off the motor.

If you have the black engine, the S100 Engine Renew works great.  Just spray it on between the fins and when it dries, the engine looks brand new and it last quite a long time.

The stuff does work great, but it always collected alot of dust, and just wouldn't turn loose of it.  I prefer to spray Armor All on a warm.......not hot......engine, and wash as usual.  Really brings out the black bling, and lasts until the next wash.
