CarBrite makes some amazingly strong wheel cleaner acids and a corrosive multi purpose cleaning chemical called "blue max". Either kind (wheel clleaner or blue max) strips corrosion, grease, and grime right off. I used it on 500,000 mile Peterbilt semi truck frames and engines and that stuff strips it down to clean paint. Let it sit for a few minutes..then pressure wash it off. CarBrite chemicals do more than burn nostrils..they burn the lining in your throat, so be careful. I think they are up to your task though. Good luck!

At the muscle car shop where i work. We use Purple Power for heavy degreasing such as oily engines, underbodys, and prepping parts for paint. For light cleaning underhoods, wheels, and general purpose, we use Simple Green. Both have their own areas that work well.
Hope this helps.

Grez-Off or simple green, those seem to work really well. i love Grez-off, works amazingly well for cleaning oil-mud off out here in the desert.

If you have a friend in the restaurant business, get them to order you a gallon of Viking K-19. That's the strongest commercially available degreaser without having to have a chemical specific license. Just like any degreaser, you have to watch it around aluminum, plastic, and wiring. Really really good stuff. Makes simple grean look weak.

Cheap-o oven cleaner spray works amazingly well, but you MUST be careful around aluminum, plastic, rubber, wires, ect. If left on long enough, it will strip the paint off an engine block. I use the Wally World brand.

The Castrol Super Clean is made of the same chemical as the oven cleaner, so same-same applies to precautions.

Gunk Engine Degreaser or Simple Green have always worked well for me.

I will only buy commerical degreaser since its so strong.. i want to get what we have at my dealer but its so strong u can breathe while you use it.. i cough my butt off when our detailer users it. But i use commerical degreaser mixed up in a gallon sprayer works great, best of my bed liner tires bumpers mirros..
