Default Cleaning up a 5.3 Throttle Body?

What's the best thing I can use to clean up the throttle body off my 5.3? I'm doing a motor swap on my 94 Tahoe, and don't want to put a nasty looking throttle body on a clean motor.

If it's not too nasty, use Simple Green. It's a decent degreaser, easy on the hands, and easy on the environment. If it's pretty nasty, use Purple Power, pretty strong stuff that can corrode a shiny aluminum surface if you're not careful.
