My traveling detail car kit for Star Tech

Check out my cool Mercedes car detail kit bag that is leak proof. It even holds more than 4 micro fiber towels.

Nice and Convenient

Looks like a nice and convenient way to keep some quick supplies with you. What kind of microfiber towels do you use?

Good thing it's leak proof, esp. if you keep it in the trunk of your SL

I'm a big fan of PakShak products, their waffle weave towels are the best I've tried. Their customer service is second to none - really fast shipping. Check out their selection at - http://www.pakshak.com/micropak.html but don't take my word for it, also check out their extensive testimonial page at - http://www.pakshak.com/testimonial.html

I get my white micro fiber towels for wheel cleaning and washing from http://www.meguiars.com. I get my yellow waffle weave micro fiber towels for drying from Meguairs to. I get my blue micro fiber towels for waxing from http://www.optimumcarcare.com. I think I will get the green microfier towels for glass cleaning from the link that Prolix posted: http://www.pakshak.com/micropak.html

I am color coding my towels base on function. I also wash them in hot water after each car wash. Wife thinks I am nuts.

We do recommend using a separate towel for each application. For instance, one towel should be dedicated to painted surfaces, one for interior surfaces, and others for household use.

you should really try the Eagle one wet wipe n shine vs the meguiars quik detailer. IMO, it has a higher lube content and helps prevent dust from scratching.
