Anyone else take detailing supplies with them on a trip?

I had drive to Houston today. I will be here till Saturday. I brought with me 2 MF drying towels, 4 regular MF towels, glass cleaner and a bottle of QD. My truck was spotless when I left Fort Worth. I stopped just north of Houston to eat and I cleaned all the bugs off my truck. Since they were still fresh they came off real easy. It may sound a little OCD but I didnt want to drive around it a dirty truck while I was down here. I was going to bring some ONR with me but I decided not to at the last minute. Anyone else do this when they go out of town?

I always take 1 glass microfiber, glass cleaner, a couple of regular MF towels and some QD. Can't be driving around without a clean vehicle!

I have the Opti-Seal and the Instant Detailer. Both work very well. I would also recommend the Optimum Car Wax Spray. It is one of my favorites right now.

I went out and got a 3 1/2 gallon bucket and a lid. Inside is a grit guard, MF wash mitt, WW Drying Towel, ONR, GC Wax, Hot Shine Tire Gel, Glass Cleaner, UQD, MFs, and applicators.

Used to carry the Meguiar's duffel bag around, but with this I can wash the car too if need be.
