removing grease

[686970]

That only happens when diesel fuel is spilled, and not promptly cleaned off.
Same happens when gasoline is spilled on car paint.

Okay

I like these for removing grease.

Nothing I've found beats mineral spirits. WD40 is a close second.

My wife finally let me buy one of these, it's the best.

I bought a used one of these, when I had a wife.
A very good choice.......but not the wife!

Your really bad at picking wives aren't you!

WD40 and grease rags.

Yes I have the same situation, and shirts and jeans with round grease circles to prove it..haha

Because some of the grease is in-between the frame and joints or between the recessed zirc fitting and the pin body and is difficult to access, I have used a popsicle stick or piece of thin firewood splinters to try and scrape off the excess and use paper towels or disposable rags.

I like to use a piece of wood as opposed to a screw driver or putty knife so as to limit the chance of metal on metal scratching the paint.

I don't have a pressure washer but would be worried about forcing water into someplace where I don't want it to go.

Lots of good advice from the others.

Just get your wife one for her birthday, or Christmas, or your anniversary, or Monday!

"would be worried about forcing water into someplace where I don't want it to go".
Does it never rain in Ohio?

I'm in the WD-40 camp as well. It works great.

Get a gallon and some blue shop towels and have at it.
