List for a travel detailing bag
After a little road trip with my gf, I feel that I should carry some essentials with me to help keep the car looking clean. Obviously, when youre on vacation or away from home, the last thing on your list is washing your car.
After a long drive on the interstate, you acquire bug splats, brake dust, and the interior might get roughed up from the passengers, snacks, drinks, bags, etc... Right now, I just carry a small bottle of speed shine and a few plush mf cloths. So heres what I think I should carry.....all small items/containers....please reccommed products. -Glass cleaner - i use stoners, but dont want that huge can for traveling. I also have the stoners mf "wand". this should be a direct replacement for a gas station squeegee. Plus, id rather have the handle than using towels, so I dont rub against the fender and create marring. -Quick Detailer - im cool with the little bottle of speed shine. interested in ONR as well. seems like its a little more universal? -Tar/bug remover - Again, small a bottle. P21s TAW or something stronger? -Interior stuff - A little cleaner in the event of a spill? 303 interior cleaner? Im not worried in my car....no food. only water, and you've gotta hold it. -Wheel cleaner - Just a quick wipe down on the exterior. ONR or qd with disposable mf's? - Duster - I have the griots mf dusting wand... works well, can remove from base and wash the cloth. comes with a pouch too. -1 lg mf towel - not for washing or wiping - I put a little scuff from the zipper of my jacket on the rear bumper lip, right under the trunk. keep a mf towel in the trunk, then drape it over the lip when removing luggage? now, the trick is to find a good bag to hold this. It would have to be leak resistant...maybe a toiletry bag? Small is a must also......This 1er isnt my grandpas cadillac. you could barely fit a dead body in there. probably the biggest concern is how this stuff will hold up to extreme temperatures....heat in the summer, cold in the winter

Not anymore, lol. We just did a hit and run. Stayed one night. It was dead there, off season. The price was right though. On the way back, I stopped at the casino in ct, and lost at the craps tables.

Invisible Glass is a fantastic glass cleaner. Thats the one that I always use and they have a variety of sizes. I always carry a couple of MFs in a small bag in the trunk when I go on long road trips.
