It helped to clean off w/ a hot cloth .. but I don't know if you want to run back and forth from the microwave to the garage .. I really worked hard on the hole where the grease was coming from... a lot of work
and my other MINIs got jealous of the attention given to the GP

Meguiars detailing range, safe D-greaser or Super greaser diluted down to a ratio of 10:1 with water removes this grease safely and effortlessly. Comes in a 1US gallon size bottle. It can be used to clean dirty wheel arches to though, so it wont go to waste.
