CAR WASH CLEANERS AND PRODUCTS

When washing your car, the basics are important. When cleaning the exterior, make sure you do so in a shaded area to avoid any streaks or water spots after it dries. Have two buckets of clean, lukewarm water on hand. You’ll use one to dunk your sponge or mitt, so it absorbs the car wash solution and the other the rinse the sponge in between applications. Finally, use the best car wash products for the job at hand, including cleaners, sponges, mitts and washcloths.

CAR WASH CLEANERS

We recommend using a specialty automotive car wash instead of dish soap, as some dish soaps can strip the wax and damage the car’s finish. Car wash soaps are specifically developed for automotive paint surfaces, so you can be sure you won’t cause any damage while washing away dust picked up from the road.

To remove stubborn stains such as insects, road tar, tree sap, and bird droppings, try using a non-diluted car wash soap or a bug and tar remover. Using a sponge, apply full strength car wash directly onto the spots, let it penetrate for 3–5 minutes, then wash it off with a stream of water.

Clay Bar

Foam Car Wash Mitts

A high-quality mitt like BrilliaTech’s chenille microfiber mitt traps dirt and lifts it away from the surface to prevent swirl marks.

Car Drying Towels & Blowers

After washing, use BrilliaTech’s super-absorbent drying towels or air blowers to dry without leaving water spots or lint.
