fill the holes where the driveshafts go with rags or rubber gloves but i would use old rags,apply a load of gunk or g101,let sit for 10 mins,get a stiff brush,go at it with it then rinse,job done.

Have you done this now? how did it come out?
I use tfr normally but i've found fairy power spray left to soak for a little while is really good
