I personally have had luck with the simple green and garden hose route, but my stuff wasn't all that nasty to the point where it would require scrubbing.

Wow, that seems kinda of dangerous.

What chemicals do you guys use to degrease? And how does it turn out afterwards?

Ever had anything go wrong?
