It's not as simple as soaking it in degreaser and wiping it away, this grime is requiring a plastic scraper and some serious brush scrubbing to get off. In this area here (wish I had gotten a 'before' photo), I went through my process of plastic scraper to get the majority out of the way, soaking what's left in degreaser, scrubbing it with brushes, and going through several paper towels wiping away the liquefied mess, only to find some stubborn stuck-on gunk was left behind and I had to repeat the process all over again. I'd feel guilty if I had gone straight to the car wash and put this soup of engine fluids and road dirt down their drain, but after I get it "clean" by hand, it'll still badly need a soapy pressure wash to get all the tight spaces in between things I can't get to, and clear up the splatter created from cleaning new areas. It'll save time and materials.
