Best way to clean off baked on grease?
I have a set of Campy carbon cranks that have a layer of baked on grease on the inside of the spider. Best way to clean it off? OMS isn't cutting it.

Mineral spirits do not dissolve it? Are you sure it is grease, petroleum based?
Any chance it's sport drink and grime? Water soluble...

I'd try hot soapy water. It may be energy drink.

I have been using Lysol wipes for all kinds of grime cleanup and they seem to do wonders.
For metal, I go over it again with a slightly damp cloth to get the residue off. |

No kidding? Hmm.. but it's specifically for baked on grease. Mind you, not sure why the OP baked his cranks in the first place?

I'm a frame painter so I have a convenient supply of lacquer thinner I use to clean paint out of spray guns. It works very well on greasy problems. It is a very strong petroleum based liquid. I wear nitrile gloves when using it.
There is another petroleum based cleaner I use to get rid of sanding dust and finger prints before heading into the spray booth. It is sold under various brand names and is available at auto paint stores. It is a very mild liquid by comparison and I use this on surfaces that have decals that might get melted with a stronger cleaner. |
