One of my favourite.

Though for most things I bother to degrease (bearings mostly), sometimes bicycle chain cleaning, I use "oil based paint thinner" (is the English term "mineral spirits"?). Cheap and works fine.
Though the mentioned Akra K2 Engine Cleaner works really well. Spray it, leave it, rinse with water. For really thick layers of sand/dust with grease, it takes a bit of scrubbing, but works better than most stuff I've tried so far, not damaging the paint.

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
