Best Car Detailing Tools

Pressure Washer

Pressure washers push water through a tiny nozzle. This extra pressure can save lots of elbow grease when it comes time to clean the tough, stuck-on muck.

You can also pour car soap into the pressure washer to prevent hand-washing entirely. Some suggests to use the Karcher K1700 Pressure Washer, one that is electric and has an maximum weight of weight per square inch (PSI) that is 1,700. It's an excellent choice that comes with a solid warranty, even if you use it for a couple of times per year.

If you'll need the pressure washer more often, the Active VE52 Electric Pressure Washer with a price of around $100 is well worth the price. The mainly metal Active will last longer as well and last more time than Karcher one, which includes plastic components. The Active can go up to 1,800 PSI and can flow two gallons every minute. The Karcher provides about an 1.2 milliliters per minute of flow.

Foam Gun

If you're not ready to spend money on the Pressure washer, a foam gun attachment to your garden hose is a cost-effective alternative. Fill the canister up with water and a couple of tablespoons of car soap. Switch on the hose, and spray a substantial lather on your vehicle.

Grit Guards

If you're a fan of the old-fashioned two-bucket wash, grit guards are essential. They protect your bucket from soapy water by filtering out dirt so that you don't wash with dirty water and possibly damage your car with sharp bits of dirt.

Place a grit protector on the base of the bucket. Then move your sponge or mitt against it, allowing it to release the dirt, and then hold it under the guard. The soapy water will remain above.

Car Dryer

Car dryers can effectively dry the interior and tight spots such as doors and side mirrors. The water can escape into crevices and cause unsightly and difficult-to-get rid of water spots.

Microfiber Mitts and Towels

Microfiber is composed of nylon and polyester. The diameter of a single thread can be smaller than 10 micrometers in size and is even more fine than the hair of a human.

Car Vacuum

Vacuums are necessary for removing all kinds of particles from the interior of your car. It is possible to bring your home vacuum to the outside, but an automobile vacuum is the best choice to complete the task.

Car Detailing Steamer

A handheld steam cleaner releases steam exactly where you need it, which loosens and eliminates the toughest gunk stuck to your body. (Think chewing gum that has been thrown into your cup holder.)

Car Polisher

Polishers remove paint imperfections. Random orbital polishers simulate a hand-polishing action and are simple enough for novices to use.

Boar's Hair Detailing Brushes

Boar's hair because it's strong enough to be used and yet soft enough to not scratch. Make use of boar's hair brushes to clean your tires and wheel faces as well as engine bays, inside doors, weather stripping, or even your dashboard (minus the screens for tech devices).
