    Anybody have them? I'm talking a small kit that you can carry around with you in case something happens to your car or a clients car to do a quick fix of something. If so, what's in your kit?

    I'm looking to make myself one and I'm not exactly sure what all to put without it become a full on complete detail kit.

    TheRustySuper Obsessive Detailer

    In my own car I just carry around a microfiber and some ONR diluted at QD dilution. Not really much of a "kit," but it gets the bird droppings off, which is usually my primary concern :p

    I do the same as RustySuper. I carry a small spray bottle of Poorboy's Spray n Wipe with a MF. Get's the bird doo doo off my car safely.

    I have a 16 oz bottle of Opti clean in each of my cars with two thick MF towels. I sealed it in a zip lock bag and its there for bird bombs etc.

    Not sure if you need anything else really.

    You could easily get a bunch of 5oz spray bottles and MF towels and make it more compact. 16 was all I had laying around so it works. some people may not want that big of a bottle. And if we are talking about a bird bomb 5OZ or so is more then enough.

    I think they will do the same in a pinch, I don't think its nessacary to buy a whole different product. Before I used this I just used Meguiars Ultimate detailer or the other spray QD in the maroon bottle. If its just to get the Poop off the paint right away, any of these are a great temp measure

    For Bird Bombs, I have this that will go in the kit:

    I was thinking a more complete kit. I have access to 4 ounce bottles in spray, squeeze bottle and dispenser format. I was thinking a kit that can do pretty much everything, but in "on-the-go" format for emergencies like a scuff on the side skirt, or a bit of road paint on the bumper. etc.

    Ill have to take some pictures and post up what I have used.

    Basically its a few 4oz bottles picked up from walmart and a double sided travel bag used for toothbrush/shaver/deodorant/etc...

    one side can hold like 5 or 6 bottles and the other side can hold 2 microfibers

    Griots used too and may still sell disposable wipes that fit that description.

    So I think I've come up with list of things that could be easy to carry around and that could get most of the emergencies taken care of. Have a look and please feel free to suggest something else that I may have missed.

    bird wipes
    waterless wash
    APC
    Tar Remover
    clay
    clay lube
    bottles of 105 + 205
    ipa

    applicators
    detail brushes
    micro fibers


    What are y'all's thoughts?

    Remember last year, Pep Boys and Walmart stopped carrying it out down here, nobody bought it.

    Well, I remember them liquidating the AGHD wax, but I didn't know they fazed out the entire brand. It seems to be doing pretty good in Canada though. The line up was grown this year to include 10 new items.
