Here's my wet/nasty post ride/race maintenance method.
Wash/rinse bike with car wash soap and brush then rinse lightly but thoroughly...bounce bike on ground...lightly...to remove water.
Workstand:
Remove wheels...set aside for last.
Using clean cloths...old t-shirts, etc...I wipe down the bike frame drying it as completely as possible.
Using less than clean cloths I wipe down the chain, derailleurs, crank set, brake calipers.
I use WD-40 as a moisture displacement spraying the chain, then I use an old toothbrush to scrub the chain links while turning the chain with the crank. I use the WD-40 to rinse the gunk off the chain...spraying liberally. I use old carpet padding cut into 4'x6' pieces...it absorbs the gunk and is reusable then easily thrown out when I think it is time.
I wipe dry all the drive train and brake calipers with a clean, dry cloth, especially the chain and chain rings until they are spotless and dry.

I use "Tri-Flo" as my lubricant of choice and drip it on my chain while spinning it using the crank. I let it soak in for 10 minutes or more and during this time I drip it on all the pivot points of the derailleurs and brake calipers. I allow this to soak in for 10 minutes and move the derailleurs and brake calipers to help it soak in a bit better. Now I use "Windex Powerizer" LOL as a cleaner of choice. I spray it on a piece of clean, non oily, cloth and wipe clean the brake pads. Then I use a piece of medium grit sand paper to lightly scrub the brake pad surfaces to remove any/all embedded material.
Using a clean cloth I wipe down the drive train and brake calipers until they are clean, dry and shiny.
I use Lemon Pledge...lol...as a frame polish. I spray it on a clean, dry cloth and wipe down the frame, crank arms, derailleurs and brake calipers. I use another dry cloth to polish said parts. Frame/components are done.

Wheels:
I use Windex Powerizer as my main cleaning agent here. I've used all sorts of stuff, Pedro's Orange cleaner, Simple Green, etc. and find not much difference except cost...Windex is less costly and does a fine job imo.
I spray the wheels and tires liberally and use a clean, dry cloth to wipe down the wheels, rims, spokes and hubs. I also inspect said parts for wear/damage, etc.
Laying the rear wheel on its' side, cassette up, and wedged against my waist and bench vise to hold it in place I spray a light coating of WD-40 on the cassette cogs. Using a cloth folded in half I clean between each of the cogs then between the last cog and wheel. If you hold the cloth between both hands with a back/forth motion you turn the cassette while cleaning making for a better/easier job of it. The WD-40 is just to loosen any crud, etc. and is not used to lubricate as I am only cleaning the cog surfaces.

Now I just put the wheels back on, and run the bike through its' gears and apply the brakes making sure everything is adjusted and working perfectly.
I use a Park Shop level stand.
I also use the Windex to clean the pedals and add a few drops of Tri-Flo at the pedals pivot points making sure to wipe off all excess lubricant.
This takes me roughly a bit over an hour but well worth the effort. My '99 Merlin/Campy Chorus bike runs and rides as good or better than the day I completed its' build 10 years ago. It is dead silent and shifting/braking is flawless, sure and silent.
