    Any other cleaning products that may be accessible and safe to use?

    There are several chemicals out there that are "environmentally friendly" that will work but it takes a while. As far as liquid asphalt goes, nothing cuts it better than diesel, just sayin...

    You'll get over trying to keep it clean. There's a reason some of them have the black middle.

    I wouldn't heat up the knife... Just pick a hot sunny day ....

    Diesel is ok but ether won't leave any residue .

    Where can you get ether? And is necessary to open the dome lid while unloading?

    I would always crack the dome lid open, never trusted vent pipe but it was always a rented trailer I would be unloading..

    Honestly there is no way to keep it nice. I loaded off the rear today and cleaned it out nice with diesel and it still got everywhere. Very difficult to avoid in the rear
