How To Build Your Own Emergency Car Care Kit

[Mike Phillips]

Thats a nice bag.

Its nice to have something to touch up the interior as well. The Meguiar's Interior Detailer is nice for removing dust from the interior.

I thought about adding something to the mix for interiors but the idea was to keep the product selection focused on preventing damage from a bird dropping with products that would help you remove the offending contaminant safely and then quickly restore some protection and shine.

When a bird dropping lands on your car's paint it only takes a few minutes for the Uric Acid to start etching the paint so it's important that you're prepared to remove it as quickly as possible. Because clear coat paints are scratch-sensitive, you need to have a high lubricity spray detailer on hand and ready to use as well as a soft microfiber polishing cloth.

A case can also be made for an emergency kit for the interior to prevent something like spilled coffee from staining a seat or carpet.

Nice write up as always.

Mike,
Will AG cooler prevent liquids from freezing in cold weather?

That depends upon how cold it gets I guess? If you're car is sitting outside in below freezing weather for an duration of time then anything exposed to those temperatures over extended time is going to drop in temperature. In the writing world a person could say it will help prevent products from freezing but you would never write it will prevent products from freezing, the key word here being help.

Mike will the products stand up to the heat ?

Well the cooler is insulated but at some point or degree it's too hot for any paint care products, so you have to use your own judgment as to where to store your emergency car kit and for how long.

The earth and it's climate are always going to be an issue for car care products stored in your car... not much we can do about it...
