I'll second the Castrol purple product.  I really, really don't like the
smell of Simple Green.  Takes a long time to get rid of it.

I usually use a commercial degreaser from a janitorial supply house (brand
pretty much irrelevant - tell them you're trying to remove petroleum grease
rather than food grease as there is a difference); be careful to not let it
set on aluminum for any period of time or it will etch.
