There aren't any.....burnt on grease is about like paint to remove.
Cheaper to pitch the pan if you want shiny. I've used oven cleaner,
which works, but corrodes the alum. and turns it a strange color.

Not aluminum or a pan, and probably not grease, but I've cleaned the
inside of the window in a gas grill with a razor blade scraper.
Worked really easily. OT, but I thought I'd mentin it.
