Ditto on shanneba's post. I don't use the cloth for cleaning just drying. Safest thing to use for cleaning off the bugs is water and your fingers. When I have the time such as in a restaurant on the road I soak a napkin or cloth in water and drape it over the windshield or my visor. After a short time the bugs are softened up so they come off easily with your finger and a little water. Some of those bugs have really hard shells and rubbing them off with anything can often result in scratches.

The trouble with getting and using wipes, of ANY kind, is that they will eventually dry out, even if sealed in the original packaging, and you'll be left with useless cloths. Whatever you get needs to be able to stored "dry", and then add water to "activate" any cleanser in them just before use.
I heard somewhere, though, that the ammonia in most window cleaners is destructive to the face shield material, and can cause them to delaminate and destroy any coatings on them.
This is why I would suggest only using a cleaner that is specifically designed to work on lexan-type material, to avoid that possibility. However, I doubt you will find something like that in a wipe that you can quickly use while riding.
