Default Naptha?

I've found for removing baked-on grease from metal surfaces:


If it's not aluminum, _real_ oven cleaner (e.g., E-Z Off (sp?)) works
great. It's lye, so that's why it's not to be used on aluminum.
Likewise, when used on a cook top, over spray needs to be wiped up
immediately (it removes paint, too).

I once heard about a guy who washed his lawnmower with Tide (laundry
detergent) and all the paint fell off. ;-)

Cheers!
