Rupes UNO Protect One Step Polish & SealantWith the Rupes UNO Protect One Step Polish & Sealant you will be able to polish and protect in one easy to use product. The specialized blend of abrasives, combined with high-quality synthetic sealant and carnauba wax allows UNO to quickly remove surface imperfections, swirls, and oxidation, while leaving behind a durable layer of protection. Combine detailing steps and save valuable time during the process! |

Grit Guard InsertIt feels like the Grit Guard Insert has been around since the start of detailing! This simple, yet effective tool can be placed in the bottom of various buckets to help trap dirt and grime at the bottom of the bucket. This not only keeps your wash media cleaner, but greatly reduces your risk of implementing swirls and scratches during the wash process. |
 |
Griot’s Garage G9 Random Orbital PolisherThere are many polishers on the market and many range from very affordable to expensive. The beautiful thing about the G9 is that it has many features of a more expensive unit, but it comes in at an incredible value. This polisher is the perfect upgrade for the weekend warrior and addition to a professional detailers polisher collection. |

P&S ProductsP&S has hit the detailing market by storm over these past few years and while we listed them in our gift guide for last holiday season, we are leaving them here for this year as well. Check out the Beadmaker, Brake Buster, Pearl Shampoo and all of the great P&S products by clicking here. Each of these items are high quality, while also coming at a great value. |

Buying me a single product is like giving me more work to do. I have to test that product and compare it to others.
I’d much rather have a polisher kit, tools, microfiber towels and things that don’t require testing. Things like the seatbelt brush, Blo Air S, pump sprayers, inspection lights, Fur-eels, Tornadors etc.
Don’t buy me a product unless I’ve told you what product, but you can buy me tools and detail trinkets all day long!

 CarPro Hydro2Hydro2 is a great sealant that’s very easy to use, convenient and lasts a long time considering the quick application. It’s great for paint when you have a garage, but using it regularly on wheels is a great way to keep them clean and protected |
 Metro Vacuums Master Blaster Car DryerOne of the best tools you can have in order to keep paint swirl free. The less you touch paint the better, so blowers help a ton in this situation. If it’s within your budget, the Master Blaster is the way to go as it’s very powerful and will last a long time. The regular Blaser and even sidekick are great options as well. |
 DI Brushes Boar’s Hair Detailing BrushIt’s a great tool that can be used on both interiors and exteriors and is soft enough to not scratch any surface. I suggest using separate brushes for interiors, exterior paint and wheels, but if you clean it thoroughly and properly one can do everything. |

 Gyeon Interior DetailerIt serves a variety of purposes and most people can find a use for it. With so many sensitive touch screens, you have a product that can safely clean smudges from those surfaces and serve as a backup window cleaner. |
 IGL Coatings Jen K.O.For those individuals that are really challenged washing their car without water spots, adding this quick Detailer may help curb some frustration. |
 Scangrip MatchPen R LightIt is a convenient light to have around, due to its small size. |
Zach McGovern
 CarPro Cquartz UK 3.0Easy to use and a great bang for your buck coating that lasts! |
 The Rag Company The Gauntlet Microfiber Drying TowelMy new go to drying towel that out performs other higher cost options. |
 Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine (ONR)Tried and true. An all purpose quick detailer, rinseless or waterless wash, clay lube, etc. Great cleaning, slickness, and shine. Get creative and mix with your favorite spray sealant for a custom quick detail spray. |
