Car Wash Kits

Three kits, one decision. The STARTER is WASH, a wash pad and the Dry Guy XL, which is the smallest set that washes a car safely. The ENTHUSIAST adds the buckets, four more chemicals and the tyre applicator. The PRO adds a separate wheel bucket, a caddy and four more brushes, so nothing that touches a wheel ever touches your paint.

Every kit is the same gear we use on customer cars, boxed, and every one of them costs less than buying the pieces on their own. The full method is in The two bucket wash method, done properly.

Common questions

Which of the three should I buy?

If you already own two buckets, STARTER. If you do not, ENTHUSIAST is the honest starting point, because it brings the buckets and grit guards with it along with four more chemicals. PRO if you want your wheel gear permanently separated from your paint gear.

What does the PRO add over the ENTHUSIAST?

A third bucket for wheels only, a caddy to keep the wheel gear with it, and four more brushes: wheel face, thin barrel, tyre and a three pack of detailing brushes. Brake dust is metal, and once it is in a bucket it goes onto the next panel you clean. Quarantining the wheel gear is the whole difference.

Do I need a pressure washer?

No. All three work off a hose and two buckets. A pressure washer is only needed if you want to add snow foam, and snow foam is not in any of these kits.

Is a kit cheaper than buying the pieces separately?

Yes, all three of them. That is the point of boxing them.

Will any of it strip my ceramic coating?

No. WASH is pH neutral, and CERAMIC SEALANT is the opposite of a problem on a coated car. Layering SiO2 over a coating is how you keep one topped up.

Start where you are

Each kit contains everything in the one before it, so the only question is how far up you want to start.

What is in each

The same gear we use, at three depths.

The kits are a ladder. Each one contains everything in the one below it, so the only decision is how far up to start. Every kit costs less than buying its pieces separately, but that is not really the reason to buy one: the reason is that these are the pieces we reach for, in the order we reach for them.

  2. Microfibre wash pad, 500 GSM
  3. Dry Guy XL drying towel, 1200 GSM
