And adding a few marbles, or small stones to the mix can speed the process along.

Thanks Jim. I searched topics and your post came up. I got out my simple green, high pressure hose, an old t-shirt and some brake cleaner. Did the swishing trick and got it cleaned up nice and pretty for this weekend in Ohio! Thanks again for the tips boys.....turned my chaos into a pretty good job!
