Just picked up a new to me, 2011 IS250 the other day. I've looked the look of these cars when they first came out and now I finally bit the bullet.

So.. which products do you guys/gals keep in your trunk for those "on the go" detailing/cleaning trips?

I came out after work to my newly detailed and washed IS and found a couple bird poop missiles on the rear window and trunk.

Just wanted to get some ideas for exterior and interior cleaning that are must haves for you all. Now that it's spring/summer it'd be nice to keep the car looking minty fresh most of the time.

Definitely have some plans for the future.. a drop for sure, lip kit, and some nice rims. It's my daily so can't be too aggressive in the wheel setup.

When it comes to a wash, I use the Meguiars Gold Class wash when I wash the car. As for the interior, I use Lexol for the treatment for the leather seats and trim.

tool kit, sponge, Smart Leather (makes your leather interior just like brand new and smells like brand new leather...love it for quick wipe downs), micro fiber towel.

I have tried many products but in the trunk everyday I keep meguiars interior detailer, mother's instant detailer for outside, and stoner glass cleaner. If I'm going to wash it then I also use gold class, meg's instant wax, and meg's tire spray. For detailing I use black fire wet diamond.

Enjoy the new ride

I keep $10-$15 worth of coins for the pressure washer at the coin-op wand wash, as well as a bunch of different microfiber cloths in my trunk. One 2'x3' drying microfiber, a second waffleweave microfiber finishing cloth, and a bunch of smaller microfiber cloths for wheels and bumpers. I also keep Auto Glym detailing spray in the car but I never use it =/ Definitely need to start using it more often. I also carry a 1L bottle of water in the car for any emergencies, whether it be to clean bird droppings or to keep from getting dehydrated while stranded on the highway. Oh and one of my favorite cleaning tools: music

Everything else I leave at home unless I know I'll need it.
