Best Car Detailing Tools

Pressure Washer

Pressure washers push water through a tiny nozzle. The extra pressure will save you the 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 completely. Many suggest that it is the Karcher K1700 Pressure Washer, an electric model that has a maximum weight of weight per square inch (PSI) that is 1,700. It's a great choice that comes with a solid warranty, even if you use it once or twice a year.

If you'll need pressure washers more frequently, the Active VE52 Electric Pressure Washer, with a price of around 100 dollars more than the Karcher, is well worth the price. The majority of the parts are made of metal. Active will last longer in the long run and last for longer 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 has an 1.2 milliliters per minute of flow.

Foam Gun

If you're not looking to purchase an expensive 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 inches of car soap, switch on the hose, and spray a substantial lather on your vehicle.

Grit Guards

If you're sticking to the traditional two-bucket car wash technique, grit guards are an absolute must. They help preserve your bucket of soapy water by filtering out dirt so that you don't wash with dirty water or possibly scratching your car with sharp bits of dirt.

Install a grit-proof guard inside your bucket. Next, move your sponge or mitt against it to break up the dirt, and then keep it from getting under the guard. This will keep the soapy water above.

Car Dryer

Car dryers are effective in drying interiors and tight areas such as side mirrors or door jambs. The water can escape into crevices and cause unsightly and difficult-to-get rid of water spots.

Microfiber Mitts and Towels

Microfiber is made up of nylon and polyester. One thread measures smaller than 10 micrometers in size and is even finer than a human hair. 

Car Vacuum

Vacuums are necessary for removing all kinds of particles from the interior of your car. You can take your household vacuum outside; however, only a car vacuum can be able to do the job correctly.

Car Detailing Steamer

A handheld steamer shoots steam wherever you require it, releasing and removing the gunk that is stuck on with the greatest force. (Think about chewing gum that has been thrown into your cup holder.)

Car Polisher

Polishers remove paint imperfections. Random orbital polishers mimic hand polishing movement and are simple enough to use for those who are new to the field.

Boar's Hair Detailing Brushes

Use boar's hair due to the fact that it's strong enough to be used and yet soft enough that it doesn't scratch. Make use of boar's hair brushes to clean tires and wheel faces, engines, interior doors, weather stripping, or even your dashboard (minus the screens for tech devices).
