The products that will make your bronco unique to you

I absolutely love! They add the perfect amount of personality without being over the top. They’re also much more substantial than a decal — these are actual emblems with an acrylic face, so they feel durable and look great in person. Definitely one o...
Acrylic American Flag Rear Window Triangle Emblem

I really love this option to change the color of the Ford logo. It was easy to install and looks as if you swaped out the badge itself! They come in multiple colors too!
Rear Emblem Ford Overlay Insert Decal

Absolutely recommend these if you are doing the classic swap. They installed very clean and are just beautiful! They are great quality and, once installed are STUCK

TIP: Make sure you double check your selection; gloss or matte
Classic Gloss Black Fender Badge Kit

I'll be very transparent here, I was a little hesitant to put this on. I was worried it would ruin the “soft line” on the front, but the idea of maybe reducing bug and rock traffic to my windsheild was enough to convince me to throw caution to the wi...
Bug Guard in Black by Husky Liners

Since I dreamt of owning a Bronco, I've dreamt of owning one with the black horse. When I was finally able to go Bronco shopping, I even searched for ones that already had it. The caveat of that being, you were paying a pretty price for something you...
Gloss Black Horse Emblem

I saw this one day on a TikTok video and instantly was sold on having one, and this was before I bought my Bronco 😂
When I did get my Bronco, my husband did his research and made sure to buy one that was easy to install and looked good. He surprised me with it. It literally took 20 mins, most of which was removing and then replacing the spare tire. Now, this one o...

Cleaning & Care

My husband is a professional detailer, so the cleaning products I use are tried, tested, and TRUSTED. These are the products I use RELIGIOUSLY to wash and care for my Bronco. I've included some helpful tips in my notes on some of the products so be s...

This is a MUST have, especially if you make frequent trips to the car wash. As great as your Bronco can look after a wash, those dreaded water spots will ruin any shine and luster. And over time, can ruin your paint. 

TIP: Use this spray DIRECTLY after a wash and dry, using a microfiber cloth. If you have the time to hand dry, this also helps with water spots, but if not just use this spray within 20 mins and you'll see the water spots disappear. And yes, you can ...

When handwashing, this mitt is an amazing tool. It's super safe for paint (be sure to buy a bucket filter to keep it that way) and is very effecting at removing dirt, grime, and BUGS

This soap is the best out there, as far as I'm concerned. It's very effective in several ways; washing, removing surface grime and oil, and removing….BUGS! Plus the shine you get after the wash is full chef's kiss. 

TIP: For the extra tough areas, spot treat with purple power and tar remover (see those products & tips in the list)
Citrus Wash & Gloss Soap

Sometimes we can't help if we got a little heavy handed on the wax application and may or may not have applied the wax directly to the plastic 😬. No worries! This is the very product to make it appear as if you never did that

TIPS: For the most effective application, clean one area at a time so the product doesn't sit and dry. Get a medium detail brush and spray the surface AND the brush and apply medium pressure and scrub in circles, then rinse. The circular motion allow...
Trim Cleaner - Wax & Oil Remover

If you want to see that Bronco SHINE, you need to wax! No negotiations! Don't be afraid to wax either! Just DON'T put it on the plastic trim! This wax is the best, hands down. The smell is amazing and the application is very user friendly. Just be su...

TIPS: Treat one section at a time. I usually work in 8 sections around the bronco like this; front fender, doors, rear fender, back, grab a new removal towel, rear fender, doors, front fender, hood. And when I say treat, I mean apply, flash remove, t...
Wet Wax

This stuff is WONDERFUL for not only protecting the interior surfaces, but for the shine it gives when you apply it. It's like a freshly washed shine, but it stays! I highly recommend using this after a deep interior wash (not a quick wipe down)

TIP: Apply this to a microfiber cloth, and wipe it onto the interior surfaces instead of spraying directly onto the surface of the interior. This ensures a nice even application and reduces any excess product remaining on the surface. A little goes a...
Vinyl & Rubber Dressing

An absolute MUST for wax application. Not only do they apply the wax smoothly, they also allow for better precision in your application. They are also great for scrubbing during a wash

TIP: Keep your wax and washing ones separate
HOMEXCEL Microfiber Car Wash Applicator Pads

Speaking of microfiber cloths….these are great! You can pick these up anywhere, but I especially recommend a multi-colored pack and cloths that have a closed seam stitch around the edge. They shed a lot less fibers than open seamed rags.

TIPS: Color code your cloths so you do not cross their uses. You can wash these rags, but wax and dressing does build up over time and you DON'T want that residue on your interior/glass rags. Wash your dressing and wax rags separate from your interio...

You're probably thinking…..what the heck is this? Yeah, I was too when my husband got this. But after you see it work the first time, you get it. When handwashing with a bucket, this is a MUST. Continually picking up dirt/sand on your wash rag is one...

TIP: Every time you dip your mitt or rag in, scrub it right on the trap to really knock that dirt/sand off
Wash Bucket Dirt Trap Insert

These are the best for doing a quick wipe down in between full details. I always carry a canister in my Bronco, even to have for the occasional spills. They leave no residue, no weird smell, and even have a textures surface helps scrubbing when you n...
Interior Cleaner & Protectant Wipes
 
Ashley Baumgart profile picture
This is what you're going to use when you want to do a deeper, interior clean. I, personally am picky and sensitive to chemical smells which a lot of interior cleaners have. So naturally, I LOVE this one because not only does it WORK, it also does no... 

TIP: Use a medium and soft bristle detail brush, spray this on the surface AND on the brush and work in smaller sections, using an agitating circular motion. Then wipe with a microfiber cloth. This really makes the difference between clean, and CLEAN...

This glass cleaner….hands down the best, especially for auto glass. Now, you may have seen me say that I don't like chemical smells. This cleaner is the exception to that rule. The smell of this is amazing. It does not come off like a “chemical” smel...
Meguiar's Glass Cleaner

If you want your black trim to SHINE, this is the obvious choice here. If breathes life back into your black trim and makes it look brand new again. 

TIP: Cleaning your trim with a cleaner first. This often gets confused for a cleaner but is not. I also do not spray this directly on the surface. Apply it to a microfiber cloth liberally and wipe it onto the surface to avoid excess product on the tr...

If you've ever wondered why you can never get a “detailer's” clean, you are simply not using the right tools. These are what truly separate a car cleaning from a detailing. Right here. Any cleaning product's ability will instantly be maximized using ... 

TIP: Make sure you're using the right brush for the right job! Soft = delicate surfaces like glass, clear plastic, or screens; Medium = textured surfaces like dashes and doors, hard plastics like trim; Hard = I prefer to only use on metal surfaces th...

Ok, this one I want to prefice by saying it works. WELL. But you need to use this with caution. This is one of those chemicals that, with proper use, will be a great addition to your arsenal in the fight againt bugs and grime!

TIPS: Only focus on one section at a time. Spray this on after you've done your intial spray and wash. This will make sure the surface is cold and wet. DO NOT apply this to a hot, dry surface. Scrub that section down using the wash mitt or a microfib...
Purple Power Concentrated Industrial Cleaner/Degreaser

I mean, it's pretty explanatory on this one I think. lol. And even better, it does it's job WELL because tar and sap….they suck. With this, you never worry about either!

TIPS: Apply after you've washed, but before a wax. They look exactly the same 😅 This is one aerosol product I recommend applying directly to the surface, but only spot treating. You can also spot treat with a microfiber cloth too. After all spots ar...
