What is an expendables kit for picture car wranglers?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
An expendables kit for picture car wranglers is the collection of consumable supplies kept on hand by wranglers throughout the shooting day to quickly address vehicle appearance and minor issues on set.
A standard expendables kit includes microfiber cloths, glass cleaner, quick-detailer spray, tire dressing, black-out paint for chrome dulling, gaffer tape, touch-up paint pens, zip ties, and basic hand tools. Having a well-stocked expendables kit means wranglers can address any camera-ready issue between takes without leaving the set, preventing costly delays while the camera department waits for a vehicle to be dressed.
