How best to clean vegetable oil residue from the trunk of a car

I just made a trade for oil slicks 190d Turbo and I'm trying to find the best method of getting vegetable oil residue out of the trunk does anyone have any solutions or suggestions? set it on fire? Pour aluminum sulfate on it? what do you think?

Put a 1500 W heater in the trunk to get it nice and warn without setting it on fire, pour LA Awesome Cleaner from Dollar General all over, let it soak a for an hour, apply more LA Awesome, then use a wire brush. Garden hose to rinse. Repeat if necessary.

Grease removal

At our Vegetable Oil Plant we deal with this all the time, the best answer for metal surfaces is EasyOff but wear good gloves and a face mask
