For Engine, trans, and undercarriage I use Gunk Engine degreaser and hot water. Then wash with heavy mix of dishwashing soap and water. Looks "almost" as good as UltraKla$$ics, but not quite.

I am ****, but my god, that bike just blows me away as far as cleanliness.

Pig Spit is hard to beat......I also keep Pledge wipes in the bags for quick touch ups on the road. Also a couple bottles of water a three micro fiber towels just in case.
