Question Cleaning Kit In Your Car?

You come out and notice a bird pooped on your car while you were at work, or you drive your freshly cleaned car to a Cars and Coffee event, but get splashed by a puddle on the way.

Do you keep any sort of cleaning items in your car to take care of these sorts of things while out and about? If so, what do you normally keep with you?

I was thinking a spray bottle with water, and a micro fiber cloth or two?

Yup what he said plus mouthwash, a waiter's corkscrew, and some other romantic essentials.

I keep a little kit in a bag: glass cleaner, detail spray, waterless wash, and a few different microfiber cloths. I have all the fluids in small spray bottles you can get from the store.

Really damp microfiber towel in a ziplock bag. If i get bird poop on the car i just wring the towel over the poop so it softens it up, then wipe with microfiber towel. QD would be good to have also, i might just do that too

A bottle of meguiar's QD is part of my 'emergency' kit. Along with a tire pump, oil, some microfibres... always be prepared!
