Best degreaser for CV grease?

Well my CV boot ripped, spewing grease all over the inside of my wheel well, rim, strut, pretty much everywhere.

Anyone have any suggestions for a spray on-wipe off degreaser that will work for CV grease? Besides the obvious 409, etc.

I'd wipe off the globs with a shop towel and hit the rest with Super Clean. They sell it at the chain stores and it's great. I should get royalties from them, I think this is the second thread today that I've promoted the stuff.

I second the brake clean...if you have a decent coat of paint on the car it wont hurt it as long as you dont leave it sit on there for an hour

Well I started off with an old dish brush and dawn/water. Seemed to be working, until the dish brush got completely black and ended up just moving the grease around. Didn't have brake cleaner, so I hit it with some Liquid Wrench...wiped off with an old towel with no problems. Washed the chemical off with sponge/dawn and we were good to go. Thanks all for your help!
