"Guys point of using brake clean is a good one. I use brake clean a lot to degrease or clean various things. A lot more than i use on brakes, thats for sure. It disolves oil and dries with no residue.

That pic reminds me of an old boat i used to own several boats ago. Those were good days. They still are."

It is a product that is pushed fairly widely in Australia but I would imagine you would probably be able to source it through an automotive spare parts place in your part of the world.
It is a good product and seems to promote some reversal in the surface oxidization of metals.
I spray my engines and and internal transom assemblies with it regularly and there is an obvious improvement in the appearence of the surfaces.
This is the product I use in my w/shop and boat.
