If your car is in need of a little TLC, you may be considering getting it detailed to add some exterior and interior sparkle.
While professional car detailing can certainly rejuvenate your vehicle’s appearance, it can be an expensive endeavor. However, if you invest in a high-quality car wash kit, you can transform the look of your car yourself. Not only will this save you money, but these kits come with all cleaners and tools you need to wash, buff and shine your car.
But with so many different car wash kits to choose from, it can be overwhelming to pick one to buy.
To help you decide, here’s a look at some of the most recommended car wash kits available, including formulas from Meguiar’s and Chemical Guys.
- Meguiar’s Complete Car Care Kit: “We like Meguiar’s Complete Car Care Kit because it includes nearly all of those high-quality and dependable products. You won’t find yourself running back to the automotive store because this all-in-one kit includes everything you could need to achieve a showroom shine, including a microfiber wash mitt, applicator pad, and microfiber towel,” Gear Junkie says.
- Chemical Guys 14-Piece Arsenal Builder Kit: “After using each product according to its specified instructions, our testing vehicle looked rejuvenated. A nice shine was left behind when our vehicle’s exterior dried, making us ever more pleased with the results,” Motor 1 says.
- Griot’s Garage 11131 Starter Car Care Kit: “This kit features larger than sampler quantities that add up to considerable savings over individual purchases. It also includes professional quality sprayers built to last through multiple refills. An innovative and reusable synthetic clay bar works with Speed Shine, Griot’s quick-cleaning product, to smooth out the vehicle finish,” Forbes says.
- Armor All Premier Car Care Kit: “The Armor All Premium Car Care Kit is economically priced, but it includes everything you need to clean your car. The Ultra Shine Wash and Wax formula removes dirt, helps water beading, and reduces the shine in your vehicle’s paint in one step,” USA Today says.
- Meguiar’s Classic Wash & Wax Kit: “This eight-piece classic wash and wax kit has all the basics you’ll need to clean the inside and outside of your vehicle from cleaning the console to shining the wheels. We liked that the included microfiber cloth is oversized, allowing you to flip to another corner of the cloth when one becomes too wet or dirty,” Good Housekeeping says.
