I use quick detailing (mothers) and a rag. For tight areas I use a small brush and/or compressed air.

Or do what my dad used to do. Use a spray bottle full of diesel fuel. My dad used to use that spray bottle of diesel akin to the way the dad in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" used Windex. Used to make me crazy. Did I mention I was Greek by the way? There's a reason that Windex poke was in the movie, trust me. All the other first gen American Greeks on the forum whose parents are right off the boat from "the old country" know exactly what I'm talking about.
