Once the car is clean....

What exactly do you include in your carry-in-car detailing kit?

How handy are they really?



From,

Ryan
 
I usually keep a micro fiber towel and some QD in the car with me. Never know when the bird bombs are gonna strike.
 
ryan-

i think everyone needs some sort of QD and a quality MF for starters..

i keep Final Inspection and a YOSteve on hand for bird crap, smudges, etc. it's a necessity!

i also have a small (2oz) bottle of car wash and an absorber in case i'm somewhere other than my place and feel the need to wash the car.

oh, and EF Clear Vision for the window touch up.
 
My in-car detailing kit includes:

* Meguiars Final Inspection quick detailer;

* a roll of paper towels;

* a California Car Duster (small version for the interior); and

* Stoners Invisible Glass.



The kit contains enough gear to cover dirty windows or the occasional bird dropping on the car. I find it comes in quite handy! Sometimes if I have a little free time after work, I might clean the windows before leaving the office garage.

Here is what I have in my kit:



Zaino Z6

Meguiars Final Inspection

5 Microfiber Towels

1 Cotton Charisma

Window Cleaner

Stoners Tarminator



I keep my stuff in the trunk in a little tray. I keep the towels in baggies so they don't get dirty. It really comes in handy to have some of this stuff with you, you never know when you'll get some bird crap or something on your car. :up

I have two, two-binned caddies from Target and a medium-small, single bin, open top plastic box. I use one caddy for towels, the other for bottles. I use the box for cleaning related tools and other supplies. I keep all three in the trunk. Fortunately, the trunk is large, so there is a lot of room remaining.



Towel dimensions are approximations.



Towels (In Caddy 1):



3-4 6"x12," Platinum ("PLT') or Canning Vale ("CV") rectangles -- for QDing



4-5 3x12, PLT or CV strips -- for spot cleaning, Bird bomb or mud splash removal



2-3 12x18 PLT or CV rectangles -- for extensive QDing, or spot drying in case the car gets wet.



1 30x 40, PLT or CV -- usually used for drying, in case of rain, to forstall water spotting.



1 30x40, Charisma, Burgandy colored towel -- for special occassion use, to give the car a quick onceover to remove any white lint left by the above towels; used every once in a while.



All the above towels have been trimmed of ornimentation and have been surged.



1- 12x12, medium plush mf towel for window cleaning

1- 12v12 suede mf for window drying

1- 12v12 plush mf for interior cleaning



The MF towels are trimmed of labels.





Cleaning Liquids (in Caddy 2)



1 Spray Bottle, each, of:



Distilled Water -- for 1. window cleaning directly -- i.e. without a window cleaning solution; 2. as a rinse spray after using a window cleaning solution; or 3. to rinse paint after spot cleaning with Z7.



Beverly Hills Motoring Assessories Window Cleaner-- (used only on tough matter, such as dried bugs)



Z6 -- for QDing.



Pre-mixed Z7 -- Generally, only used on items that do not remove with the Z6, or which I know will need extra cleaning help to loosen; the few, rare times I do not catch a Bird Bomb early (using Z6), I will soak it in Z7 prior to removal if there is any question that it has dried, in order to reduce the chance of paint damage from wipeing off the BB.



Zaino Leather Cleaner -- For use in case of spills or soilings.



In the Box:



Cal Duster - has not been used for five months

Hand-sized carpet sweeper

Box of Swizzles



In the lower compartment of the console in the cabin (i.e., inside the car)



Small spray bottle of distilled water

Small, plush MF towel

1 Swizzle



All the above three items are for spot cleaning or dusting the cabin.
 
a baggy full of MFs and FI for roadside cleaning...



A Mf and small brush on the inside for stoplight cleaning.



a few large towels for messy kids!!
 
Darbh is the man! You have to admire the guy for carying more car car products in his car than Pep Boys does.



I simply carry 5-7 microfiber towels, duster, 2 quick detailers, Water Bandit, shop towels to clean the rims, 303, tire swipes, tire brush and 1 serged Charisma towel. Not too bad. Everything fits nicely in a medium size cardboard box. Laters
