On the working / moveable parts I use a Q-Tip dipped in oil. On the exterior such as barrel / receiver I use a small piece of those blue paper shop towels you can buy at auto parts stores or WalMart, with a few drops of oil on it.

I always carry a small bottle of oil and 20-30 Q-Tips to the range with me. It replenishes the lubrication and gets out the “big chunks” of fouling during shooting sessions, and keeps your fingers clean.
