I use a water soluble degreaser, I am on a septic tank so parafin might not be such a good thing to wash down the drain.
I wash the whole bike with wash and wax, whatever is on offer
Once a year I use MER polish, the rest of the time I use Mr Sheen.
One tip another biker gave me years ago, is that after you have washed the engine and let if dry give it a liberal spray of Mr Sheen and then start the engine. It drys to a nearly invisible coating the keeps road much like cow shit etc from sticking to your engine. It's for summer dry day use as it washes off easily, but it keeps your engine all shiny.
If I am on a tour or between washes I use fragrance free baby wipes, chain lube and brake dust etc is no match for them
