I used a citrus bicycle chain degreaser - non-toxic and biodegradable - that I had hanging around in my garage. Cheap too.

Worked like a charm, used my bare hands to rub it on, and hosed off on the driveway. And it smells good - kind of a nice lead-in to that yummy wheel wax smell. A couple of very small areas needed a second dose - but only because I didn't do this job until a few months into my driving. Some of that stuff was BLACK!
