Default Any Product clean the car without water?

I know this a far fetched question but I dont know anyone with an enclosed trailor for me to use but my car is going to SEMA Philly tomorrow to load in and its going to be raining all day, I have a garage to get it all cleaned up as much as possible but its gonna get dirty as **** driving to SEMA its like a 30 min drive....anyone know of the best way to keep it clean? I was thinking to painters tape like the entire car? thanks

I would bring a chamois with you. When you get there, soak the chamois down, but don't wring it out. Make sure it's really wet so you don't scratch your paint. Wipe the dirt off the car, then follow it up with a thick spray detailer, probably 2 coats.

Try a product called Poorboy's Spray and Wipe waterless wash, its a quick detail spray thats safe for removing light dirt and road grime etc...

I use the stuff all the time, just buy a couple nice microfiber towels and a bottle of Spray and Wipe from http://www.poorboysworld.com and your set

Id definetly try to find a car cover to use for the drive too.

stockinteriors.com fit was almost exact, just a little trimming and cutting the holes for the bolts and such

would be great if I didn't wait until the last minute to figure out that its going to be raining even though yesterday it said sunny, i just wasnt prepared for the worst. If i can get my buddy to trailor it i will put the cover over it but I cant drive the thing with a cover, i wish lol

I normally dislike bodykits, but this one works well. Nice car!

Do you have a shot of the interior after the carpet and everything is reinstalled?
