My vette is going to be in a weekend-long local show starting tomorrow. Just wondering what kind of supplies you guys bring with you.

I have a gym bag that I fill with the following

2 large towels
3 or 4 small hand towels
1/2 roll paper towels
Zaino Z6 detailer
Black Magic or Meguiars Endurance tire dressing
Blue Magic Chrome and aluminum polish
Stoner Invisible Windshield cleaner
409 Spray Cleaner
Plastic Ziplock Bags (for the dirty polish and tire dressing applicator towels)
California Car Blade (just in case)
The Absorber (just in case)
Pen and Pad (people always ask questions you need to write answers for)
A few Hand Cleaner Towelettes in the foil packs

Also
Small Cooler with:
Something to drink
Snacks
Napkins
Straws
Extra Cigs and lighter (better if you don't need these)
Suntan lotion

also remember
cell phone (Road service at the push of a button)
sun glasses (you look cooler driving the vette :D )
cap (especially if you are follically challenged :D Nothing worse than a scalp sunburn headache :sad:

Seriously,
I have a canvas tool bag, about 12-14 inches long and 8 inches wide. and I always carry the following:
4 terry cloth towels, small
Maguires detailer
Maguires cleaner
Maguires #3 wax
spray bottle of water
several detail brushes
semi chrome metal polish
3 or 4 micro fiber cotton towels (very important.)

Not to argue but I would never, NEVER, use a california blade on my paint, the micro fibre towels are great.

.....LT :lol: :hurray: :steering:
