Soaked rear and front derailleur in de-greaser, should I wash off with water or simply wipe and leave to dry?

I let it soak for about 10 mins then thoughly rinse with water.
Not sure if its the right thing to do, but I assume it is.

Some degreasers have a rust inhibitor. Depends what it is. If it were say (oil based) white spirit, I'd wipe clean and leave to dry. If it were stuff like Muc Off (not strictly a degreaser maybe before anyone gets pedantic) which starts wrecking anodized coatings then I'd wash it off.
What do the instructions say?

I'm inclined to wash it of but just wondered what other people do

I'd blast 7 colours of waste out of it with an air compressor.
Putting water in is a no no in my view.
