I fell in love with detailing due to the transformations achieved through paint correction. It is incredibly rewarding to see the results of your labor directly. Sometimes it can be easy to get caught up in all the different products for each detailing task and the latest techniques forgetting that the process is supposed to be enjoyable! I believe the scent of a product goes a long way in enhancing the therapeutic, enjoyable aspect of detailing so I wanted to round up a list of my top 5, best smelling detailing products. Here we go!
#5 Meguiars D300
Have you ever wanted to lick a microfiber pad? You must not have tried D300 then! Or maybe you just do not like cinnamon as much as I do. Either way, this compound will make you feel like you are in a Big Red commercial. The cinnamon is strong with this one and that brings it to #5 on my smell good list.
#4 Optimum No Rinse
Coming in at number 4 is one of the most versatile detailing products out there and also one of my personal favorites. It is designed to be a rinse-less wash but it can also be used as a clay lubricant, quick detailer and is also a fantastic glass cleaner. The cherry on top is the very pleasant smell. Every time I use it I remember, ‘Shoot, I need to write my best-smelling products article’!
#3 Meguiars Last Touch Spray Detailer
Not only is it a great last step product, very easy to use leaving a nice slick finish, it also lands on the podium for my best smelling products. Bottle of liquid coconuts? Yes please!
#2 Car Pro Eraser/ Gyeon Prep
Coming in at #2 are 2 products I think smell exactly the same (and both perform fantastically as well). I have never put my finger on the exact scent the product is trying to mimic but all I know is that they are taking home the silver in my book. The fantastic smell pairs well with the satisfaction you get doing the final prep wipe on a finely polished vehicle.
#1 Meguiars Glass Cleaner Concentrate
Who wants some grape drink!? Well get some before you take a whiff of this powerful glass cleaner! I am sure you will be ready for a trip to the ER if you succumb to the urge to chug this stuff after you tackle the glass on your next project. Every time I head for some glass cleaning, I think, this stuff has got to be the best smelling product in my shop. So here it is, to claim its rightful place.
