Castrol Super Clean is also great for almost anything, although avoid painted surfaces, unless you wipe/rinse off quickly. Also, it will etch polished aluminum after a while. Seems to be safe on nearly every other surface on a Westy though. I bought a gallon jug of it, as it worked so well at cleaning all the grime on my '82 Diesel Westy.
