A little FYI: A number of years ago I was doing something on a Piper Cherokee and the instructions specified cleaning the parts with Stoddard solvent. It took me two weeks of hunting before I found out that it was the generic name for Varsol. Pre Google days.

Good cleaner

Have many memories on that aircraft. PA 28-185. Both here and the UK. Lots of fun. Very forgiving. Not like my friends Christian Eagle. Still have the silver jacket.

spray nine is a really good cleaner in my experience; ctc I think has it, spray bottle is handy.
I wouldn't use break cleaner for internal fork parts, as it will dissolve rubber parts like fork seals.
cheap automatic transmission fluid is safe for fork internals. use a brush.

I use Simple Green regularly. Never had any trouble with bare aluminum.

50/50 mix of pine-sol and hot water.
Works great on varnish/carb gunk.
Also +1 on the simple green.
Kerosene for chains.
Brake cleaner and wipe down those fork parts.
Wipe the seals and fork parts down with ATF, or fork oil before reassembly.
