Car washing products

The cleaning products I currently use on my car to get the best clean. Soaps and sprays. Multiple washes to be had from all of these chemicals. They last me a while.

I always begin washing the exterior of my car wheels first. The first thing I do is use an iron cleaner to help remove any stubborn break dust. This chemical does a fantastic job. Simply spray on and wait 5 minutes before rinsing off with a pressure ...

This is needed when you have stubborn marks that just won't come off. It helps break them down so that they can be washed away safely without damaging the paint. I only use this on occasions where necessary.

This brush is great for getting between the spokes of a vehicles rims. It is great for reaching in places where your hand or a cloth just can't reach. An essential tool when cleaning the wheels of your car.

I use these brushes with almost every wash. Great for both detailing the interior as well as to agitate the soap on surfaces on the exterior such as the rims and or badges. Always great having these on hand when cleaning my car.

After giving your car a big dose of soap and bubbles it always comes out looking better. An important step though which is sometimes missed is to dry the vehicle to keep the vehicle looking clean once dry. Droplets left to dry depending on the locati...

A staple when washing your own car. I use one cloth per panel to avoid scratches when washing my car. I then wash the cloths once done in the washing machine so that I can re-use them. Eventually I find myself disposing them which is why I like to bu...

The best way to keep my car looking new is to avoid scratches. I do this by separating my cleaning between the wheels and the exterior. I also keep a separate bucket for rinsing as opposed to washing. Although it involves a little more work, it keeps...

I've tried many ways in the past to keep my glass streak free. A lot of the time the materials I've used end up drinking too much of the cleaning agent. These cloths are great. They leave the glass streak free without using too much of the cleaner. I...

I always use this when cleaning my dash as it helps reach the corners easily and collects the majority of the dust. Once the dust has been removed, the cleaning chemicals can go down leaving a much cleaner end product.
