Local self-serve carwash.....engine degreaser. Works good, just be careful where you spray.

any degreaser and a shop rag, wipe all the dirt and grime off, then use a GOOD tireshine (nothing cheap, something that wont corrode rubber) and wipe down all your hoses and black running lines and shit.

Im sure other kinds work well too but as stated, simple green has worked for me.
