Now, you need to take it on another drive.  Maybe drive up toward the South Carolina state line, have a chili dog at the Sonic at the Lavonia exit then return.

I would think it should also go through at least 1 heat vycle.

...Mean Green Orange Champ Cleaner and Degreaser.

Is that different from regular Mean Green?
Mean Green is great stuff, but it will oxidize bare aluminum (especially), and other metal.

It does seem to be different.  It's essentially for household use, but it works well on the engine.  I used it to clean the oil off the top of my engine when I replaced the distributor O-ring.  I've seen no signs of oxidation on the transmission though it says it's not recommended for acrylic, leather, or aluminum.  I suppose a good rinse would help.

3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Ordinary Windex-type glass cleaner is an excellent degreaser. I use it to clean my kitchen stove. It works better than cleaners supposedly made for the job.
