I use the Rain-ex windshield wash with the bug softener/remover in it. Toward summer, bugs like mosquitoes make it look like I have been to some massacre, and the stuff makes the oil come off quicker it seems.

I use a mixture of dish soap, rubbing alcohol, and water. Does a good job on the oil, and doesn't streak.

I have always had great luck using WUTS."What's Under The Sink" windex works, but 409 really works.

denatured alcohol and water 50/50 mix,in a spray bottle of your choice works well.it cuts the grease and drys fast.

Generic glass cleaner boosted with a little bit of extra ammonia works really well at getting exhaust oil off the plane. It's pretty much cheap as dirt, too.

Ditto. That's what I like about 4-strokes and gassers... They don't "slime" your plane like a 2-stroke does.
