Hmm dunno... Nice thought though. You would have to get it into all the myriad nooks, crevices and crannies.. and there are lots of them, then wipe it all out.. repeatedly. Not something I would look forward to doing. I don't know of or have yet found any Magic Cleaners.
Typical Saab has a LOT of thick goo on it, often requiring a tool to dig it out.
A garden type pressure washer works ..IF.. one is careful, perhaps dialing in reduced pressure and trying not to blast obvious seals. Still, that leaves a mess on the floor and the engine compartment, requiring additional cleanup.
Once I had the foresight to have an engine/compartment steam cleaned with very good result. Seriously recomended as the most effective cleanup, if you can manage it.
