For strictly antifreeze, good ol' water would do the trick. If you're looking to clean everything, I've had good luck using Simple Green in the past. It's what we used at a dealer I worked at years ago for everything from washing cars, cleaning engine compartments, and scrubbing the floor. It's good stuff, just make sure you dilute it properly.

I'll second the simple green idea. It's what I always use.

believe it or not, orange citrus wipes work well also

I use S100, they sell it at Harley dealerships. I was skeptical at first whether it would work the way people claimed, but it did a great job. Took my 1-2 hour engine bay detailing down to about 20 minutes.
