well, depending on how much you want to tear it down,

Engine degreaser
Simple green,
Brake Cleaner

Any of those will get crud off, I would get anything greasy or grease+dirt scraped off with a plastic puddy knife, then I'd start with simple green and a brush since it smells good, works pretty well and isn't going to make any problems for you with disposal.

A good brushing and hot water and you'll get most of it off.

Then i'd do a quick squirt of brake cleaner anywhere it is being more stubborn.

Flitz metal polish could do that.

Use mothers aluminum polish available at any auto parts store.

You do realize it's gonna look tarnished after a ride or two right??
