wheel cleaning

I picked up some craigslist Rigida/Shimano wheels for the lady's bike today. They're reasonably straight (only one ding in the front rim), the freewheel threads are flawless, and with a repack and some truing I think they will be nice, but wow are they funky. Lots of grease and road slop. The spokes are DT, but they're kind of crusty.

I really don't care if they *shine*, I just want to get the nasty off. What do y'all use?
