The Purple Power as mentioned before (i get mine from Advanced Auto) is great for alot of things that are greasy. You can cut it with water, but i always use it straight.

Another thing i would like to mention, some orange pumice hand cleaner is absolutly fantastic for bringing rubber parts back to life. Any rubber bumbers (hood bumpers) and whatnot can look and feel new after scrubbing them throughly. Infact it works so well, i scrubed my old but new tires that i bought for our stock model T truck. These tires i bought from a gentleman were in very dusty storage and a degreaseing did nothing to help. I used hand cleaner and a scrub brush and they came out looking almost new and very clean.
