    Hi Everyone, Just wanted to poll peoples thoughts as to what they carry with them when traveling as a detail kit. With space at a premium, what would you consider the essentials, and which brands would you recommend. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

    Nothing!
    I regard the dirt from a longer travel like a trophy and avoid washing the car for at least two weeks after that :)
    The Carrara marble powder I once brought home even remained till the next rain.

    Best Regards
    Martin

    A quick detailer and a small microfiber towel to remove bird droppings, tree sap, etc., as soon as possible. A little dust and dirt can wait until I get home.

    A couple micro fiber towels and some Griots spray detailer.
    Keep the car clean and it shouldn't need more than a quick wipe down.....
