Anybody recommend a good degreaser, safe on paintwork?

How does everyone else clean the nooks (crannies?) like under your m-tec spoiler etc?

Clay will remove stuff like tree sap and industrial fallout (shite that falls out of the sky around industrial estates and railway lines.), it won't degrease as far as I am aware. Also a degreaser leaves less chances of scratches.


A degreaser is good for using in door shuts and wheelarches where claying isn't and option.
