My favorite is a spray bottle of multi surface kitchen cleaner. 409 is good. Spray and brush with an old kitchen brush until theres no dirt. Then spray degreaser till it shines and ice wax.
I agree, gasoline is very nasty and very old school as far as cleaners go. It really doesn't do a better job than the non flamable/toxic cleaners available today. Plus the additives used are very toxic and easily absorbed through the skin.
