Step-by-Step Detailing Kit
Step-by-Step Detailing Kit
Step 1 of a safe wash. pH-balanced, so it won't strip wax or ceramic coatings, and it foams up thick in a bucket or foam cannon.
Chemical Guys Mr. Pink pH-Balanced Car Wash Soap
Sits at the bottom of your rinse bucket and traps grit so it doesn't end up back on your mitt and scratch the paint. Cheap insurance against swirl marks.
Chemical Guys Cyclone Dirt Trap Bucket Insert
Chenille fingers hold tons of soapy water and pull grit away from the paint instead of dragging it across. Much safer than a sponge.
Chenille Microfiber Car Wash Mitt
A big twisted-loop towel that can soak up a whole panel in one pass. Fewer wipes means fewer chances to put swirls in the paint.
The Rag Company Gauntlet Car Drying Towel
Connects to a pressure washer and blankets the car in thick foam that loosens dirt before you ever touch the paint. Pairs with the Mr. Pink soap above.
Chemical Guys Big Mouth Max Foam Cannon
Spray-on, wipe-off ceramic protection you can apply yourself in an afternoon. Adds deep gloss and makes water bead and sheet right off.
Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating™
Gives tires a rich, dark finish that lasts, and the gel doesn't sling down the side of the car like cheap spray-on shine.
Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance Tire Gel, G7516, 16oz
Streak-free on windows and windshields and safe on tinted glass. Makes a big difference in photos where glass reflections show.
Invisible Glass
One spray for the dash, door panels, screens and trim. Lifts dust and fingerprints and leaves a clean matte finish, not a greasy shine.
Chemical Guys, InnerClean Interior Quick Detailer
Soft brushes for vents, badges, emblems, grilles and seams that a towel can't reach. These small details are what make a car look truly clean up close.
