What is best for spot cleaning?

donsbabybeamer · 07-04-2014, 03:40 AM

Picked up my Alpine White 428. first day there where 2 tiny spots on the trunk, reddish and raised, I'm calling it road dirt. I rubbed them off with a little spit (yes, all I had handy) and used a micro fiber towel. Is there a product I can purchase and carry with me for these little clean ups for road dirt, bird droppings, etc.? Obviously I'm looking for something that will be effective but not hurt the finish.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Poorboy's World Spray & Wipe. I get it from Detailed Image and carry a bottle and MF towel in the trunk. Good stuff.

I use this. Awesome stuff.

Pretty good at cleaning up bird droppings, and I also use it after washing to add a nice shine.

I think any of the modern QDs are fine. I keep a spray bottle of Finish Kare 425 and some microfibers in the trunk.

BTW the elastic retainer strap on the right side of the trunk is perfect for keeping the bottle upright and secure

Smart. I usually just throw it in the bin under the trunk mat.
