The Gunk is petroleum based and wont wash off that easy.

I took off the serpentine belt and washed the pulleys off with brake cleaner. Lightly cleaned the ac compressor clutch with brake clean and compressed air. I have let the Z drip dry of the oil since on my garage floor. The passenger tire is soaked on the inside and I will let the rest of the oil just fine its way south for a while and decide how to clean the rest. What a mess! There is a bulls eye on someone at ZIP at my house right now. Should I clean and keep the original serpentine belt? Would that matter to anyone in the future?
