I would use Simple Green (which I know you've already tried) and/or
Oxyclean which is a stain lifter but will remove many things. Of course
there are other things you can try like the cleaner for Mag wheels, but any
of them are going to leave a residue if not washed off.
My friends at the old Hewlett Packard Metrology Lab in Fullerton, CA used
the following to clean equipment for service;
1. Using an air hose, blow out dirt and dust from the chassis.
2. Hose the equipment down with simple green, letting it set for a while.
This removes any grease, grime, goo.
3. Then using a pressure sprayer, wash off the chassis with distilled
water.
4. Blow the water out with an air hose.
5. The last step was to bake the chassis using an oven at about 180-200
degrees for a couple of days to ensure all the water was out.
I've actually done this myself on a computer monitor I spilled 30 SAE oil
in, I used my wife's oven and it worked. I once dropped a Cellphone in the
toilet, I washed it out under the sink, blew it out and then baked it over
night. Guess what, no problems (I could say the audio was stinky but..),
worked great!
Just my two cents,

Has anyone used Cameo brand copper cleaner to clean a Drake chassis. It
is usually available in a grocery store. I have a couple that have a
caked on dirty crust. I'm wondering if this stuff might be too strong.
Thanks,
