A few things I'm considering are to absorb what's leftover with paper towels then blast it with degreaser, a stiff brush and absorb again with paper towels. Another consideration was to find a spray bay, degrease and let it all drain out since that water is closed-loop and does not enter the public sewer system.
Please save the criticisms on the two ideas mentioned above and offer suggestions on how best to do this if either of those methods are not desirable.

thank you for posting this, I was looking for the best way to clean up engine compartment in a jetski. I had the oil tank crack and leaked and made a mess in there (oily residue touch to everything)
