meh. Simple green can get under paint and will rust and peel away paint. Fan of the stuff really I am, but it contains oxidizers (sp) that will get under the paint and holds oxygen (the cause of rust) to sit on the metal. Rare, but I see it in the motorcycle world as many many many people use it to clean rims.

Suggestion.
Pop into your local motorcycle shop and grab any "waterless detail cleaner and wax" in a can. Most of them will pull up the oil without damaging anything. When I get home i'll get you the name brand I use if I forget just pm me.
