•  Sun Screen

•  Painters Tape / Contact Shelf Paper - some people like to mask off the edge of their wheel wells and rocker panels.  They do supposedly vacuum this facility but we have found that sometimes gravel does exist.  We will do our best to layout the course to avoid as much as possible.

•  Leaf Blower - these are handy if we do have an area with gravel, it can be blown off instead of having to sweep it off.
