I like this product:
Extreme Simple Green® Aircraft & Precision Cleaner It does the job and doesn't harm aluminum or plastics. Regular Simple Green can contribute to aluminum corrosion.

That stuff isn't easy to find though.
Use a real engine degreaser as it's made to not harm the various materials under the hood, and it's easy to find. Don't use: - Normal Simple Green - Super Clean - Purple Power All of them will attack aluminum, paint, and rubber. |

I would wipe off the excesses first and then probably just use WD-40 to clean it off...
