I've been to 3 car shows now and my 4th is tomorrow and keep seeing people spraying and wiping their cars with something...anyone know what that might be?

I'd suggest the NXT version over the Meguire's (it is a Meguire's product, but cost $1 more). It has a finer mist which means it won't streak as much as the original.



Also - get some microfiber towels to use with it.

I detail for shows allot and this is my kit: A bottle of a good quick detailer, a clean microfiber towel, a god window spray and a microfiber towel just for windows. If you will be in a dusty or brezzy/dusty area, take along a California car duster, or whatever they are called where you live. You get most of the dust off before you go rubbing it in with the towel and spray. I throw a roll of the blue paper towels in the kit for the wheels. Sometimes the cars have to roll over wet grass or dirt before they are parked. The blue paper towels will wipe and smudges off freshly detailed wheels and also mud splatter from rear rocker panels without gumming up your nice clean microfiber towel!
