I have never used a water hose on my plane, but if really dusty: Buddha Belly Cleaner diluted with water in a pump sprayer. Wipe with micro fiber rags. Same sprayer for the oily belly. Creeper and safety glasses are your friend.
Monthly wipe down with Plane Perfect or Wash Wax All.
Windshield with a non-ammonia cleaner like Spray Away. Clean rags only, up and down motion not swirling. Swirl scratches will reflect sunlight more than vertical. Don’t rub hard or with dirty rag.
Dirty micro fiber towels go in an old oil box, then when full I take them home. Soak in utility sink with hot water and 10 Mule Team Borax. Wring and rinse, then into the wife's laundry machine. I air dry them on a parachord clothes line.
Small shop vac stays in hangar to vac the mohair upholstery and carpet. Armorall on the glare shield and blue vinyl.
Sometimes this gets done in chapters. Underside of wing is more of a 3-6 month thing.
Pup gets a pass, but pax better have clean shoes!
