Plain water and a variety of brushes and microfiber towels. I know it's too late but if you mask off glass, trim, and tires similar to when you paint the car, it saves a lot of clean-up effort.

Toothbrush (mild) with some spray detailer. Go around the complete car and use this, then wash off with very soapy water.
