Default Items to take to a carshow

So far I've been to only one real car show. When I was there I noticed people had brought stuff to wipe down their cars and clean the wheels and tires. What do you guys all take to the shows to keep the car nice and clean?

Wal-Mart has everything you need also. The have 8 packs of towels, light blue in color. Plus all the detail stuff you would need as well. If you want, we can meet up at the Wal-Mart at Elliot and Priest before the show and I can show you what to get, but it is pretty easy to find what you need once you are in the Wal-Mart.

I will head to wallmart and check it out. I would rather not drive that far just to pick up some cleaning materials lol(I live at i17 and 101) so I will check walmart out tonight and see what they have. Papertowls for windows and rims, microbead towls for the car body?

I ment the morning before the show. You have to drive right past it to get to Firebird, but coolio. Let us know if you couldn't find something. I am sure one of us will have it already.

its great to use a storage container for most cleaning supplys etc. or duffle bag easy to put under tha car or behind the seat or under so it can be out of the way for the show. a chair is always a must or even a small pop up tent if its outdoors. suntan lotion hat an cooler for water etc... u never know what shows will have what an whats going on around., if u dont have somthing im sure a freind would have it. most the time i bring my wipe down cloth an tire cleaner an rags for the engine bay to be cleaned up. an use other supplys from freinds who came wit me like glass cleaner. but important bring tools cause u never know when u need them an string for banners etc.....
