Oil Stains

What do you guys use to get the oil stains off your exhaust? I sprung a leak on my front valve cover and now my headers are black. Just wondering if there is anything easier than brasso and a SOS pad.

Thanks,
Woolly

Easy Off oven cleaner. But always take the pipes of the bike. Stuff is serious $hit!

I have an old pan and I got so tired of cleaning that I painted the pipes black back to the exaust tip.

laquer thinner works very well, keep it off the paint, also 3M adhesive cleaner, which is hard to find these days.
