1 jug of simple green
1 spray bottle with a 1:1 solution of simple green and water (for cleaning my floorboards)

I religiously clean the outside of my windows 2-3 times in the spring and summer, and once or twice in the winter. I do the inside windows once a week and my mirrors as needed. Makes a big difference to be able to see out the windows and in your mirrors. I clean out the interior of the truck once a week, and wipe down the dash and vinyl once a week as well.
Accessories

Cell phone windshield mount w/ line in cable to connect my cd players to my Samsung Galaxy S3 so I can play my music from my sim card while driving. I have customized playlists set up on it.
Road Atlas Book
Plastic clipboard w/ internal storage and built in calculator
Air hose and air nozzle kit from Pilot Truck Stop, so I can blow the debris off the floorboards and right out of the truck
Cobra CPI480 - 400 Watt 12V Power Inverter to run my macbook pro and my cell phone charger
here's a pic of my interior at night. (taken with a Canon 7D and an 8mm Rokinon wide angle lens)
I also bought a portable scanner so I can scan my bills and trippak envelopes in so I can get paid. No waiting in line at the truck stops or terminal, and no worrying about TripPak not getting your envelopes to your company. Downloaded the software from TripPak's website to my laptop. I know there's a mobile app, but I can't get my phone to take quality pics that the app will accept, so I decided to do it this way.
In the sleeper on the floor next to my bed is a 12v Igloo 40qt cooler, so I can keep my drinks and food cold. helps cut down on eating that unhealthy and expensive truck stop food.
My truck is setup so I can run more efficiently without having to stop and look for things, I know right where they are and they are easy to access. About the only thing I would like to add is a laptop mount to my passenger seat so I can have my laptop mounted and my scanner right there, so when I get done with a trip I can immediately scan it in after I drop the load. But I just do it at the end of the day before I go to bed, it takes a couple minutes and then it's done.
What's everyone elses setups?
