Solvent and lube question

This weekend I am going to give the road bike a good cleaning/degreasing. I have some FInish Line EcoTech spray degreaser and I'm ready to roll.

My intention was to wash the wheels while on the bike, then remove the wheels to clean the drivetrain. The cage on my front dr can be opened to allow easy removal of the chain for cleaning/degreasing. Once the chain is off I was going to spray degreaser on the cassette and chainrings, scrub them with my Park brush, then gently hose the parts down.

Questions:

-- Can I hit the derailleurs with the degreaser as well, or will this harm them in some way?

-- Once I degrease the cassette do I need to hit it with the lube, or is the lube on the chain enough?
