Under carriage
Picked up a used scooter and the bikes pretty clean, except for underneath. It’s greasy grimy nasty. What do you guys recommend? I don’t want to take a chance ruining chrome/polished parts. And I don’t have access to a lift.

A bottle of Simple Green and a scrub brush. Maybe even a toothbrush.
Pro tip: Use your wife's toothbrush, not your own.
And don't forget to use the "show towels" to wipe it down.
You can thank me later.

you can put it on a lift to get better access, but the lift gets in the way so i lay a blanket down on the cement and go at it with simple green
I use two spray bottles, one with water, one with simple green
a tooth brush
a bunch of old shop rags
i got at it with rags, the toothbrush, and simple green and then use the spray bottle to rinse it down....then i'll wipe it down again with clean rags
i repeat this process until rags start coming back clean, my final test is go poking around with a white detailing q-tip
i don't detail the undercarriage like this every time i wash, this is a once a year thing maybe
