dishwashing detergent? solvent ,fuelite ?

Ive just bough a TL01 & I need to strip, clean & re-assemble. TL-01 gears
are pretty much the same setup as mini's (same but different)

and a sidenote. How often should I strip & clean my M05 gears. Only gets used on racedays , 2x per month.

Cheers
cleaning----almost anything works. Dishwashing detergent or Simple Green and a toothbrush works as well as anything.

M05 gears-----rarely if ever.
