Recommend Muck Off. You can get it from Halfords.

Spray on and leave for say 5/10 mins.

Use a stiff brush to loosen the debris.

Then wash off - you can use a low pressure spray.

Dry off or allow to dry then spray on a " finish" coat of say Bike Spray ( also a Muck Off product).
This will leave a factory fresh finish on all parts and help to protect against rust!
You could also use WD40 or ACF50 in the winter.

Hope this helps :))
