Default Oil clean up off truck and out of bed?

Hey Guys,

Broke a 5 qt container of 5w-30 all over the bed of my truck and it's run all over the back bumper.

What's the best way to clean the bed out and get the oil streaks off my bumper?

Thanks!

I would try washing it with Dawn dish soap and see if that works.
