Yeah *if* my MF duster comes in time I'm going to bring it. I get pissed at my Cali duster cuz it makes streaks...then I have to QD, so I should have just done that to start with!

Daily I have QD, 303 in small sample bottles, glass cleaner. Plus the towels for each. I have them in the mesh behind my drivers seat. For long trips I pack some wash, Hydro, and some waffle weaves and Monster fluffies in a MOTD bag. Oh I keep a couple of those swifer things in a baggie in the glove box all the time

I made sure to also pack a plastic grocery bag in mine to hold any soiled MF.

modnar- smart choice. best to carry those one time use gloves and
a small trashbag to dispose the used paper towel, etc. and the glove
with bird crap(s).

in my car i only carry papertowels, SpeedShine, and a brand new
MF platinum towel. worst case, i would use the zipbag that the
platinum towels comein for trash.

No problem. I figure I'm OCD enough that if I just stuffed the used towel back in the bag w/ the clean ones I'd probably end up washing the entire lot of them.

Does anyone have the Griot's trunk organizer bag? I still like my (apparently hand made in Colorado) Prima boot bag, but the Griot's one looks a little more high tech.

i also like the bag. just $20 seems like a pretty fair deal.

I found this buried thread and thought it was interesting. Here's mine...



Found a handy little tool box...doesn't take up to much space.



Open it up to find a couple of microfibers...but whats underneath?



QD, 303 Aerospace, Hydro, Rain-X, dilouted Simple Green, Tire Gel and applicator, pad for the 303, a bit of clay, and last but not least another micofiber. Makes me smile everytime I see it.
