Get some hand cleaner from an automotive parts supply place. It's typically
a gel that dissolves grease. Apply it to a dry cable and work it into the
grime. The resulting residue is water soluable, so just rinse it off.

Some of the brands I've seen are GO-JO and Fast Orange. These cleaners may
or may not have an abrasive grit mixed into them. I don't find the grit
necessary, but others must. It's not a bad thing to have around a boat
anyway.

And GO-JO will give you the best blade shave. Really! Use Go-Jo
instead of shaving cream. Works great and has lanolin sp for a
smooth-soft face after shaving.
I know it sounds stupid but it really works.
