Cleaning my Body & Lenses?

I kayak a lot here in Central Florida and recently opted to take my D500 and 18-300mm (My hiking kit) with me. I am taking all the precautions; dry bag, towel, drip rings, etc. but inadvertently some water does get on the body. A drip here and there or even transfer form my hands, which is no big deal - but does need to be cleaned up once I am home.

What the best solution/procedure for cleaning the external components of a body and/or lens?

For knocking off loose dust from the camera/lens body I use a 2" paintbrush.

For wiping down I use 4" Pec Pads and a spray bottle of denatured alcohol (to wet the pad, not the camera).
