A car cleaning kit should have the following items to ensure that you have everything you need to clean and maintain your car properly

  1. Interior cleaner: An interior cleaner designed specifically for car interiors will help to remove dirt and stains from the car’s seats, dashboard, and other surfaces.
  2. Wheel and tire cleaner: A dedicated wheel and tire cleaner will help remove brake dust and other debris accumulating on wheels and tires. Meguiar’s Hot Rims Wheel Cleaner, Chemical Guys Diablo Gel Wheel, Rim Cleaner, and Sonax Wheel Cleaner are some of the top cleaners used in the Country.
  3. Protectant: A protectant will help to restore and protect the car’s interior and exterior surfaces from UV rays and other environmental elements.
  4. Car wash soap: A gentle car wash soap designed specifically for cars will help to remove dirt and grime without damaging the car’s paint. Chemical Guys Mr. Pink Super Suds Car Wash, Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash, and Adam’s Polishes Car Wash Shampoo are all solid choices.
  5. Microfiber towels: Soft microfiber towels are perfect for cleaning and drying the car’s exterior without scratching the paint. The Rag Company, Chemical Guys, and Griot’s Garage sell some of our favorite car cleaning towels.
  6. Applicator pads: Soft applicator pads are perfect for applying protectant, wax, or polish to the car’s exterior surfaces.
  7. Glass cleaner: A high-quality glass cleaner will help to remove streaks and smudges from the car’s windows and mirrors. Some good options are Invisible Glass Premium Glass Cleaner, Stoner Invisible Glass Cleaner, and Meguiar’s Perfect Clarity Glass Cleaner. 
  8. Detail brush: A detail brush is useful for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, such as the crevices around the car’s dashboard or door handles.
  9. Wheel brush: A wheel brush with soft bristles will help to clean the wheels without damaging them.
  10. Bucket and sponge: A bucket and sponge will help you easily apply soap and water to the car’s exterior and rinse it off with clean water.

With these items, you will have everything you need to keep your car looking clean and shiny.
