Nothing stays in my car except my insurance card in the glove box.

I'm surprised no one said glass cleaning crap!

MF towel and Invisible Glass cleaner. I HATE, really really HATE, dirty windshields and that chitty foggy film that develops on the inside.

Also a waffle towel for those times I want to dry it a little after giving her the good ole power wash... On road trips I do make it a point to spray away the pound or two of bugs.

oh and some weed.

Where did you find the bikini cover? My black interior gets HOT.

Air compressor, jacking pucks, hat for me/visor for wife in case we forget to bring 'em, driving gloves for the rare opportunity I need them, small tool kit, small first aid kit.

Amazing what you can cram in there!

And last, but not least, a bag of quarters for those wand self-serve car washes when on a long road trip.

Someone mentioned cleaning supplies. Rear cargo net holds glass cleaner and detailer. Right or left trunk corner, large stack of microfiber towels.

OP, thanks for asking! Picking up some good ideas. I'm prepping for a 5000 mile journey in July. Helps with the "Check List!"

I believe it came from Southern Car Parts. Haven't had it on for too long at a time, but seems to work fine.

Don't forget your Reverse Logic threaded lug bolt guides. Never leave home without them. And jacking pads (pucks) if you don't have the stay in place kind.

Default Secret compartment

cooling rings, microfiber towels, detailing spray, wheel chucks, tire inflator and tire repair goop, lock lugs key, window spray cleaner is the most important
