As an example when you get bitumen spots on your car lower body, you can try to wash it all you want with soap it won't come off. But use a bit of table oil in a cup with a small rug and you'll wipe them off in no time.

I clean the bearings out with CRC brake cleaner from a spray can.. Does the job and leaves no residue at all. I also find this product useful for cleaning nylon/plastic gears then just blow them off with my air compressor. Once again no residue.
