+1 on Simple Green. Get the concentrate if you can so you can mix it on your own.

This may sound funny, but if you want to remove something that other cleaners can't, try DEET. Yep, good ole mosquito spray. Get at least 20-30% and watch the magic. Wonder what it does to you?

Goof Off works with no scrubbing.

Not sure about a couple of years worth......never let it stay on more than a couple weeks. A good cleaner wax should do it also.
Thats why I went to a turn down on all my trucks.

Aluminum/chrome polish wadding. Takes it right off, then wipe off any residue with a paper towel.

Best way is to run it out the side.

The Goof Off took of the caked up stuff, but there is still alot in the pits. I am going to buy some brasso and try that. If not I am just going to suck it up.

Did you notice any sound difference, like a little less drone?
