A mix of equal parts brake cleaner, dirt and sandpaper. Wash it once and you'll never care what it looks like dirty again.
Seriously, check out the above thread. It'll get you where you want to go.

Clean the dirty spots and shine the clean spots.
I use a bucket filled with soap (just like for an automobile) and a sponge. I use a minimal amount of water to clean it off. Then I take a air compressor (don't go there guys!!!!!) to blow off the majority of water then I go for a ride to complete the drying process.
