Wheel acid and tfr work pretty well.

What are you using to rinse it off?

grease-off if you can get hold of it

I wouldnt let wheel acid anywhere near the engine bay mate, it'll eat through your seals and gaskets. Nasty stuff wheel acid.

As said, get some junk and use a brush to work it in the stubborn areas.

G101.

Petrol is ok for getting the first layer off, but it isn't water soluable and leaves a residue.
