Degreasing

We are drawing aluminium wire. We need oil free surface finish on the drawn wire. Could someone recommend a degreasing agent / process or any other alternative.

It would be better if you use Aluminium Degreaser that would remove oil and oxide scale and brighten Aluminium wire also. There are different products also available.
