A couple of washed microfiber towels dampened with HOT water (from a convenience store or motel rest room-heated in a microwave, if available). Nothing else needed.

Yep What several said above, microfiber towel and warm water. I use it on road trips as well as at home. I have tried several of the store bought bug cleaners over the years and found that the only real difference in them and a microfiber and warm water was cost

I keep a 4 oz. bottle of Klock Werks spray shine in the bag. They included one with my windshield and it worked so well that I just stuck with it. Great stuff!
