Default P1S makes a nice cleaner, and then use quick Meguiars detail to wipe off brake dust
Good idea to carry around a bottle of the quick detail and a pack of 100% cotten cloths in the trunk in case you find bird/berry/moose droppings on your car.

I carry a bunch of car care stuff in that little cubbyhole on the passenger side of the trunk, and several cotton cloths, a roll of paper towel, hand cleaner, etc.

Cheers
