If its an automatic transmission (aluminum case) I wonder if something like toonbright would clean it up for you.
For shame!

I start with a few cans of crc brake cleaner (wish I could still get the best stuff from ISI Poly), then hit it with the pressure washer before the brake cleaner has time to dry.
Car washes have all the tools, but not sure I would do that as they typically recycle a lot of the water.
If the engines and tranny are that greasy, it might rain-proof the cars that hit the car wash after you
Be careful hooking hot water to standard pressure washers, as they're not rated for heat, and we melted a filter on ours that way. Just FYI. Simple Green or Purple Power work for me when I need to wash something greasy.
I have used this,

It works great in small areas. It is not in a hurry but way less PSI than a pressure washer.
In case the link does not work it is a Harbor Freight Engine Cleaning Gun #68290
Did you try Amazon or Farm & Fleet online?[/QUOTE]Yeah I was referring to crc- good stuff.
Can't find it everywhere, but everything Ive used from 'isi poly' is exceptional. Not sold in stores here, only distributors to mfr plants and shops. If I get a chance I'll buy more of that good stuff. Cleaner, cutting oil, penetrating oil, and hand soap.
And maybe an electric power washer to use in the shop. Are there any decent cheap electric power washers or other good options.
I'll try to remember that one.... Interesting observation about the simple green is that if there is any moss / mildew growth on any of the concrete surfaces (ex garage entrance), it serves as a long term bio kill.
And if solvent is not available, BBQ charcoal lighter fuel is the same stuff.There are places people prolly dont need them but scrape on cordboard in to some contractor bags, soak up some solvent, brush and scrape and mop with couple rolls of towels and eventually soap and water if you want it clean. I am in a place equiped and allows it and its a different matter and the washer is a staple tool for me. So important got it on line, plumbed in, switched etc.
