My wife and I will be taking Saffron to participate in the Car Club Jamboree at the Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegance & Motoring Festival at the end of October. We will be driving Saffron to the event from the Savannah area, and I want her to look her best. What products would you recommend to take in a travel kit so I can clean her up when we get there?

Bring along a bucket with a Dirt Guard Insert, a lambswool wash mitt, some Prima Mystique and purchase bottled Distilled Water from a local grocery store...you're set for washing your car without needing to dry it under full sunlight with absolutely no water spotting. So microfiber drying towels aren't even necessary. Bring a brush to clean the wheels. Add some Hydro for on the spot protection and gloss.
This is how I prep my vehicles. I would purchase 4 (2.5 gallons of Sparkletts Distilled Water). Fill the Nomad with one jug, and use two jugs in two separate 3.5 gallon water buckets for the Soap & Rinse buckets. You'll have one 2.5 gallon jug left as a spare for wheels.

or as a low budget but effective route you could get some Optimum No Rinse and wash that way. I use that, a small handheld chemical sprayer from lowes to clean my wheels, and some Bug Squash remover from poorboys to loosen up the bugs that meet their maker on my front bumper before I do the ONR wash.
