I rarely wash my car at my own place(I live in an apartment). I can wash the car at the dealer but use all 'my' stuff. At work we have hot/cold water indoors and compressed air to blow out all the corners. I keep a sterillite 32 quart plastic tub with Velcro on the bottom. I keep a small bottle of wash/tire shine/wheel cleaner/wax/quick detailer/chamois/applicators/MF cloths, etc...

I will also wash it when I hang out at my brother's or my father's place, or even a buddies place on a whim. I don't keep a bucket, but my big floor bucket with the dual bins has Velcro on the bottom too so I can just stick it in there(literally) if I use one of the community wash areas(no shade though). I used to use larger bins but I have become more efficient as to what is worth keeping these days, also keeps me from accumulating junk.

It also comes in handy at the grocery store as I can use it as a divider to keep 12 packs or milk jugs from flying around. Anyone else do this??

Can't say that I do, but a good idea for people who don't have faucets/ live in appts.

i dont have anything as organized as that, but I always have a few microfiber towels, and some Scratch X and applicators in my trunk

Its really not that organized, as everything is just shoved in there I just bought the smallest container I needed to keep it from becoming a trunk in a trunk.

I keep a smaller plastic box with a couple bottles of water, some micro fiber towels and Zaino detailer (Z-6) just in case something like bird crap finds it's way to my car.

I have an "Emergency Detail Kit" in my truck just in case I am out crusing and I run up on a Car Show. I actually used it a couple years ago when I had to go to Florence, AL to close on a loan, on the way home we passed a "small" car show so we turned around and pulled in the parking lot to look at the cars. Someone suggested that I enter my car, so I got out my stuff, detailed the car and won a First Place trophy!!

Great idea!

I keep a tub just like that in my trunk, only it is bigger.
Never know when you are going to need anything.
I have just about everything I would need in case I happen upon a cruise in or car show.
A list of what is in my tub:
Wax
Quick detailer
Back to Black
Rain X
Interior wipes
Leather wipes
Glass cleaner
Rim polish
Tire shine
cleaner/shampoo/conditioner
applicators
terry towels
Bottle of water for spot touch ups
I think that is about it. I know I have forgotten something though.

i only keep a few towels in the trunk I hate it when stuff slides all over in the trunk.

eh, i just wash it at home, i go to shows and throw dirt on it. lol

good idea, i think i might have to do the same, an indoor wash bay is clutch.

I have every tool i own in the trunk of my stang. Box of tools, tire iron, floor jack and jack stands, oil drain tube, pretty much everything.. I hate it but i have no room in my apartment for it.

I keep my car supplies in their own cabinet in the garage.

quick detailer + microfiber towel & Cali. Duster. Used to keep leather cleaner, too, but never used it away from home.
