Car cleaner kit for the road......?

How do you guys carry your detailer, MF towels, Zaino stuff? Like when you go on a short trip and you want to be able to detail your car quickly on the road say at your hotel, etc. . Any ideas on what kind of carry pack you use, supplies and a high quality spray bottle? WHERE DID YOU BUY YOUR LITTLE BAG TO CARRY YOUR STUFF? DUE TO INCOMPETANT MAIL SERVICE(U.S. MAIL) I WANT TO BUY LOCALLY.

Thanks.

It depends on what you are trying to do on the road. You could always keep a bottle of QD and a few MF towels in the glove box. However for more items, just go and find a bucket or something you can strap into the trunk. A box works too. Duffle bag? Anything is good...

There's a little black Velcro strap in the trunk of my S-Class; on the right, near the taillight. My wife's Audi 90Q has one in the same place.

I carry a spray bottle of half-strength Z6 (50/50 Z6/distilled water) and a MF towel, and a bottle of Z7 there.

If it's a little job I whip out the H-S Z6 and MF dry. Bigger jobs and I can almost always find a DIY carwash bay closeby, and Z7 and MF dry.

I've been known to take the plastic wastebasket from the hotel bathroom and mix carwash in it. But please don't tell anybody!
