• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Hi everyone! Now that my Telluride is finally home, I want to keep her looking as good as possible. I'm thinking of keeping a kit in the car to spray off bird droppings, bugs, etc. between regular washings. I've never been as concerned with this sort of thing with previous cars. Does anyone keep a "quick wash" kit in their car? What products do you stock or recommend? Thanks!
 
This is what I use. Pairs with the hybrid ceramic liquid wax I use.

Meguiar's G200532SP Hybrid... Amazon.com: Meguiar's G200526 Hybrid Ceramic Detailer, 26 Fluid Ounces: Automotive

This thread has a lot of recommendations too.

 
Thanks so much!

The detailing thread has lots of info and will take a bit of time and research to figure out what is right for you and your detailing needs.

As for me, I have a Spray bottle with 1 part Chemical Guys car wash to 4 parts water, a bottle of water and a microfiber towel that I keep on the shelf in my garage. When I pull in a see bird poop or other major dirt spots, I spray with car wash mixer, use a microfiber towel to carefully wash and then rinse area with water bottle.

I tried a quick wash detailer spray but didn't feel like it got the bird poop and bugs off very well.

I have become a believer in Optimum No Rinse (ONR). I mix up a bucket, apply from top to bottom in sections and dry. Done. Half an hour for the full car including prep and clean-up. I do it about once every week or two and it's been great. So suds or rinsing so it's very easy for a quick wash. There are lots of videos on it to check out.
 
I use Griot’s Garage Speed Shine as a quick detailer spray for bird poop or other relatively fresh blemishes.

Schaeffer 266 for dried bug guts. Be sure to rinse.

Microfiber towels
