Best "wet naps" to keep in car.

I'm sure this has been mentioned in a thread somewhere (probably several times) but I have no idea what term to search for to get any useful results.
What I'm looking for is the best package of wipes for cleaning the inside and also the outside if I notice a large bug or bird dropping on the car to wipe it off quickly between washings, which for me will be few and far between as I'm lazy as hell.
I don't trust Armor-All because I remember it eating dashboards back in the day.
Any of you anal-retentive obsessive car cleaners want to share what you keep in your cars for touchups?

And a couple Microfibers. You can use on any surface including glass.

That appears to very nicely cover outside the car, now what about the interior?

Put some ONR + H2O in a spray bottle, smells great too, I use it for exterior. I just use water for interior.

Outside I use Griots Speed Shine for everything, inside I use 303 Aerospace Protectant. I also use the 303 on my tires.
