	Biological washing powder can work on fresh stains. Other than that, a normal degreaser will work really well with a spiny attachment on a pressure washer. www.tesco.com/direct/karcher-t250-t-racer-surface-and-patio-cleaner/210-4107.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=210-4107&ui=mercury&sc_cmp=pcp_GSF_DIY_210-4107kpid=210-4107&kpid=210-4107&gclid=CMmSieilwsACFSITwwodBGEAgw

	Star drops & pressure washer work well.

	I recently discovered that Bilt Hamber's 'Surfex HD' degreaser is really effective stuff so that might work well, plus it's a water based thing so easily rinsed away. I mixed a 4:1 solution into which I put a seriously manky, oily old cylinder head and left it for 48 hours. It came out bare and shiny clean with no scrubbing at all. It even cleaned the carbon out of the combustion chambers. I'm very impressed with it.

	Just tip some petrol on it and give it a brush - it gets rid of oil like magic - then use a hose. Charlie
