Default Frame cleaning

I am getting really tired of cleaning 23 years of grease and grime on the frame around the engine bay. Anyone have any miracle suggestions other then elbow grease and a very small brush??
thanks......

High pressure washer followed by the use of Marine Clean from the makers of POR15. The pressure will blast the loose rust scale as well.

That probably works great, but a little bit lower tech and less of a commitment... spray on some simple green and hose off with a regular garden hose (with a spray nozzle of course) you would be surprised how much gunk comes off! :) MJ
